I find the bit about it not altering the way you drive interesting. I know
several people who have attended the course. One of them came back with the
statement "if there are streetlights then it IS a 30MPH limit end of".
Another announced that the speed limit on a dual carriage is 60MPH!

I just wonder if a lot of it is dumbed down. I always know the speed limit,
I just choose to ignore it where conditions allow. In fact on housing
estates I always do 20mph even if the limit is 30.

And not one person I know that has attended a course has said that it was
patronising or a waste of time.



My Brother attended a course not so long ago, when asked what they
learnt at the end of the session, someone said they learnt 'not to get
caught' again
