There are 2 true things that most people learn from a Speed Awareness Course, one of which would have probably prevented them from needing to take such a course - commercial vehicles are subject to lower default limits on ordinary NSL dual and single carriageways, and an ordinary road with street lights and no speed limit signs is a 30mph limit. Identifying whether a van is a CDV or not is probably beyond the script.
My only excuse to the speed offences is that after 32 years driving - the last 15 years in CDV's - learning your new van is actually commercial is one thing, remembering to always maintain your speed separately to everyone else is another. Both my existing and my new speeding offences are exactly on the speed limit for a CDV.
I mention the circumstances of the phone thing simply because I'm as disappointed in seeing people using their phone as anyone else.
Google gives me results, but knowing a good result from a poor one is beyond google. Going solo seems a bit like a wasted opportunity against a ban that will end my business.
