I am a naughty driver

Yes i am, i might as well admit it now cos Daisy will probably tell you anyway the next time she sees you.

Because i was doing over 30 in a 30mph area, i was 'pinged' and sent a fine for £60, but instead of automatically getting 3 points, i was offered a 3 hour course to learn how to be a slower better driver.
So today off i went on a Speed Choice course in Taunton, run by these guys.

The history of my crime, was when we swapped our girls for a greenhouse back in this post, Marc and me drove up to Bristol to go to Ikea and the chinese supermarket. On the way back i wasn't really concentrating on the road, and i drove past the one speed camera on the A37 from Bristol back down to Shepton Mallet at about 36/37 mph in a 30 zone!
Very naughty.

I won't give an excuse, i heard too many today from an older fella who simply couldn't accept the fact that he was in the wrong, he'd been doing over 35 in a 30mph zone, and he had every excuse at the ready as to why he shouldn't have been 'pinged'.

But i think why dwell on the past, areas are limited to 30mph for a reason and no matter how unreasonable that reason might seem, i learnt today that there are probably half a dozen other reasons as to why it definately should be a 30mph limit.

I left there having learnt quite a lot really, but i suspect it's one of those things that you have to experience for yourself, so i wont' try to convert the whole world to slow down and drive a little bit safer on this blog.

However if you are driving in a hurry, and your stuck behind a car rigidly sticking to the speed limits, don't get cross, it might be me.
