At the weekend I went on my celebratory speed awareness course. I mostly enjoyed it. My luxurious breakfast in the hotel restaurant was spoiled by the presence of two coachfulls of dithering geriatric tourists. The queue took about 10 minutes, and on the three occasions I reached the head of it there was no coffee available. When I complained they instantly gave me a full refund which I took to the coffee shop on the other side of the car park.
I learned a lot on the course, and I
took snacks and fancy napkins for all the participants. There was, however, a
point at the beginning of the course where nobody wanted to answer the question
about why we thought these courses were being offered. After a conciliatory
speech by the instructor about how there were no wrong answers, and how the
course would only work if we all got involved I put my hand up. I was then
spoken to very harshly, It turns out that there WERE wrong answers and that the
course WOULDN'T work if people were negative about it. I had suggested that I
was offered the course so that I could be charges £100 instead of the statutory
£60 fine.
