Ha well fair enough! Thanks for the reply anyway. They seem to offer the course but I imagine it's really speeding cases with relation to 'Smart' motorways.
We'll see. Should have looked on here sooner, always!

Struggling to see the point of your post.
Of course you can ask. Whether or not they will tell you to f**k off is down to them. and likely to depend on whether or not they do a separate motorway course. The only way to be sure is to phone them and ask.

Hi I seem to have messed up again in a work van!!
Details:
29/04/26 - Alleged speeding offence in rental van - 81mph on a motorway (standard 70mph) camera van on a bridge, Gloucestershire Police
---- Viewed photos and then returned NIP as driver ...
12/05/26 - Letter with Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty (date on letter)
08/06/26 - 28 day deadline to respond to offer
So I've left it really late to post on here as I'd kind of given up but I've just read through Andy Fosters intro and noticed a brief bit of advice about calling to ask for Speed Awareness Courses.
So the offence is '81 in a 70' but I wasn't offered a course. Unfortunatly I completed a SP30 SAC 4/Feb/26 (offence 9/11/26) so that's probably why. I was hoping for a Motorway driving course, as it's not the standard SAC and doesn't repeat the same course. I did do a Chatgpt check about the chances and -in its usual positive manner- said it was about a 60/70pc chance of a course.
So my question is there any point in calling them? If I do call, any advice on getting a course?
If I don't get a reply to this I will just call anyway (mad not to) but as it's so late I wonder if they can extend the offer out long enough for me to get another letter with the course on it. I'd snap it out of their hands at the moment. Yours desperately :-\
