This must be completed and returned within the given time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After which if you have admitted to being the driver at the time of the alleged offence, you will be sent a further document with the options available to you listed. This may include a speed awareness course if you fulfil the above criteria, a fixed penalty notice if education is not appropriate, or a summons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are offered a speed awareness course, you will usually be given a date, time and location to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be aware that rules do vary between different police forces, so if you are unsure about any of the documentation you have received, you should contact your regional police department to find out more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Do you have to attend a speed awareness course?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, attending a speed awareness course is not compulsory. You can decline the offer to take the speed awareness course and instead pay the listed fixed penalty notice and accept the points on your licence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Do you have to pay to attend a speed awareness course?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. The cost of the course varies across the country but is typically \u00a380 to \u00a3100. You may also wish to bear in mind that the course usually lasts around half a day. If you work you may also have to take unpaid leave or use a day\u2019s annual leave to attend the course and this may have an added financial impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/83830_6c3eba1359cb4306bd1a5a417c14b839_1562079137.jpeg\" alt=\"surveillance for car speed check\n\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">How long does a speed awareness course take?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Courses do vary, although in most cases it is usually four to five hours long. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Topics covered on a speed awareness course<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The purpose of speed awareness is to try and educate drivers about the increased risk to themselves and other road users when speeding. Common topics include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; benefits of complying with speed limits<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; attitudes surrounding speeding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; consequences of speeding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; knowledge and skills<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; personal responsibility<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; impact on other road users<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">What happens on a speed awareness course?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the day you can expect to take part in a series of workshops, but there is no pass or fail at the end of the day. You may be asked to take part in a quiz, but the results have no bearing on your day, it is more a bit of fun to see what you have learnt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course is run by advanced driver instructors and no police are present on the day. However, there are fairly strict rules and procedures in place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you are over ten minutes late, you may be asked to leave the course and be referred back to the police. Similarly, anyone caught on their phone or causing continued disruptions may be asked to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stoneacre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/83830_75e3f6579ba24f6a95dffb0a9321b99b_1562079178.jpeg\" alt=\"speed awareness course\n\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Does going on a speed awareness course affect car insurance?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A speed awareness course is not classed as a driving conviction, as you avoid taking any penalty points and your licence remains clean, therefore should not impact your insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some insurers may raise your premiums on the basis that you do pose an increased speeding risk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Do speed awareness courses work?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A government study found that people who attended the course were 23% less likely to re-offend within six months, and only 21% of those will go on to re-offend in the following three years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TTC, a large provider of speed awareness courses, states that 99% of people who attend their course go away with a more positive attitude to driving within the speed limit and safe driving in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a speed awareness course?
