I also enjoyed my course, it was preferable to the points it would have put upon my licence & the increased insurance premium for 5 years, I enjoyed the £100 fine far less. I was doing 35 in a 30. I now adhere to the speed limits around town but the road that the mobile speed 'safety' camera van caught me on is about 2 miles long & is a short cut onto the M2 & I now enjoy driving along it at 28mph with usually a rather long queue of traffic behind me with the person directly behind me so close that I can't see their headlights in my mirror
