Do they allow you to do the course more than once. Don't think we get that option up in Scotland cause we're a bad lot up here.

we don't have the option in Scotland.

Our only options are :-

1.  a fine

2.  a fine and a ban

3.  a fine a ban and goto jail

4.  DON'T SPEED

I make my own music in my car, I don't need anyone else's soundtrack, my car has one of its own

You need a better sound system in your house then mate!

I visit the Pro-Ac production facility every six weeks with my day job and have spent plenty of time in their demo room. Absolutely glorious speakers and without doubt way better than anything you could recreate in a car. Top class gear.

Come on give it some wellie. Looks and sounds like my old Grannie pulling away there. Bet that sounds impressive when its really getting some throttle.

I’ve got a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 6’s paired with a couple of Bronze 2’s. Sounds incredible!

I've had two speeding fines in France listening to the same album.

Tony MacAlpine's Maximum security.

I've been in touch with him regarding compensation but as yet, have had no reply.

Yikes, I was on the A46 travelling from out Warwick way towards Evesham and had Killing Joke blasting away. I saw a flash go off at the roadside and noticed i was doing 60 in a 50 limit. Ha kinda of ironic since I put up this thread just two days ago!  Another fun half day at another speed awareness course I guess.

I have found Killing Joke to be perhaps the worst music for adhering to speed limits, try listening to The Wait in a 30mph zone, no hope.

Any kind of industrial music makes me more likely to put the foot down.

Laibach makes me want to put my foot down but in a tank.

Just don’t follow him in case he takes a wrong turn and goes on the wrong road. You could end up on the road to hell

I have one of those 100 Classical Greats albums in the car which I really enjoy on long journeys (I hate driving)...helps to keep me chilled and de-stressed. Complete opposite to Ozric Tentacles which I also love, especially when I want to get somewhere quickly.

[dmccombe7]

On long journeys someone told me to try listening to book being read out on CD or the modern equivelant. He said it was very relaxing but i never have got round to it.

I have my complete music collection split between two I pod classics which are connected to my car stereo. I listen in the car the same way that I listen at home. On random. I love it!

Anything by Oasis would sound better in Marc Bolan's car. 

Whenever I drive down to Cornwall for a summer holiday, I always play non-stop Beach Boys music 😎🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️

Thats the only time I ever listen to them 🤔

I did, but he was driving home for Christmas at the time and didn't have hands free so couldn't talk.

Ha ha. Yes, as long as there are at least 3 years between the offences and assuming you're within certain limits.

I quite like the Bach before 7 slot on Radio 3. I find it keeps the rage incidents on the morning commute down to single figures.
