I'm sure RTCustomz have hundreds of Brembos stickers kicking about just PM rtbiscuit

The argument there, is that 30mph isn't an appropriate speed to drive down that road. Which in reality it isn't, how can you defend yourself, it's very difficult. "there were parked cars and I couldnt see" "so you admit there was a big hazard?" "yes" "and you didnt slow down?" "no" "why" "ummmm..." The point put across in the course and tbh many advanced driver courses is that everyone else is an idiot and you only have control of what YOU do. Do you want to kill a child, No. Can you prevent yourself from killing that child, Yes. So why would you push it in a 30... All comes back to Why? Getting there sooner? Boredom? Laziness? Dissagreeing with the speed limit? Person behind bullying you to speed up? The point they were making, pick one of those reasons and that's what you have to tell the family of the kid you tore the limbs off of or killed.

I know where you are coming from but to play devils advocate; kid steps out, gets killed. Ekona, You are telling me you would genuinely tell the mother of the chld you just killed when speeding that the kid shouldn't have been so stupid? At no point did the instructor try and claim that doing 30 is 100% safe but there is no way you can prove it is less safe. So again to play the other side of the argument... You are doing 38 in a 30. Why?

I can't imagine anyone having written something down that they would honestly say they would tell the mother of the child so it worked pretty well.

I'm laughing, I just noticed I got carried away and gave you 10 LED's in that one, you're going to need your sunglasses at night!

Still alive and a free man. Just thought I'd see how/if it has affected my driving before summarising. welll, would say its; 1/3 verbal lesson from your driving instructor 1/3 Brushing up on relevant highway code 1/3 sitting on a seat for 4 hours exactly as punishment Overall I would say it is actually a positive experience and a far better option than the three points. I don't just mean it's better than taking the points from a financial point of view for me, I mean it's a far better way of teaching offenders as a whole a valuable lesson. The instructor: The guy who took our course was a self employed driving insturctor, he made it pretty clear at the start that he wasn't the police, coucil, AAdrivetech or anyone that had any influence on the placemnent or methods employed with speed cameras. I think having a good instructor, like any 4 hour lecture, is the difference between it feeling like an eternity of imprisonment and an informative evening. Fortunately the instructor I got was a good guy and genuinely interested in educating people with a sense of humour to keep you interested. The people: There were about 20 of us there and for the most part we were all doing between 34 and 38 in a 30 zone and lots of us doing so in the first or last few metres of the zone. As you'd expect there was a wide range of people from a couple of young blokes to elderly gentlemen, even a pregnant lady. Most people were of course bitter about it but all accepted the fact they did something wrong and finally after many years of doing that every day they finally got caught. There were a few van drivers, one biker but for the most part it was a room of normal car drivers. The course: about 3:45 of course time in total, after the H&S lectures about fire exits probably more like 3:30 of actual information and it was blasted at 100mph. It was a well laid out, wide ranging and informative session that I would say should be condensed and broadcast as a show when topgear isn't on As far as the information put across, did I learn anything new? Not really, there were a couple of statistics I had never heard but as far as rules of the road it turned out I was pretty up to date. What was interesting though is the level of knowledge coming from a fair few of the other people... We were given out an interactive voting system at one point and asked a bundle of questions so we could see what percentage thought what. Oh man, there were some f'ing terrible answers coming out as to what people believed were the rules of the road Speed cameras: I was never a speed camera hater but I now have a more positive view of them after the course. I have more respect fr the placement of them after it has been thoroughly explained to me BUT i still hold the same opinion (as did the instructor) that where I got done was inappropriate however was still justified. The part I found interesting was the explanation of cameras in the last/first few metres of a speed limit. Basically that section of, say a 30, is pretty damn dangerous. I do what nearly everyone does and find myself doing somewhere around 35- 37 in the first stretch of the zone due to being lazy slowing down. BUT one guy said "Yeah this is how i got caught, I was setting the speed on the cruise and waiting for it to slow down". He got done doing 41 in a 30, in derby that's 1mph away from instapoints. 41 in a 30 imo is shocking. Also there were a smaller group of people caught in a similar way to me accelerating out. The reasoning behind those cameras in the last stretch of the limit is that's where people have been killed, statistically proven (i know damn statistics). But if you put your sensible hat on it makes sense. Guilt trip: There was a guilt trip involved but was far more expertly done than I had expected. Way early on in a lighter mood we were asked to write down the REAL reason we were speeding, no need to tell anyone or show them but just for our own benefit. later on there was a section about braking distances in 30 zones, it showed the scene of an accident with some big fat skid marks. He explained this is how the kid was killed as he didnt look crossing the road. And then showed the court findings that she was doing 38mph or above, if she had been doing 30mph she would have stopped 1m to 5m short of him. Instead she dragged his body under her car a fair way down the road. At this point you feel the guilt trip coming... "So the mother comes out of her house crying, the kids are shouting 'he was speeding!' and they are pointing at you. You don't dare get out the car, terrified to look under the front. The mother arrives and balls in tears at you 'why were you speeding'. The first words out of your lips have to be the words you wrote down earlier. Do you think they are enough for that person to have lost their child?" Sh..it... Not really. Other info: Without the wide spread lessons on the highway code related to speeding, the course would have been much much shorter and in some ways i guess i think they should be manditory, but then i have always believed people should be retested every so many years. Have I slowed down, as a whole not entirely but the judgements I make on the road are far different, will I speed now and again on an empty motorway? yeah probably now and again like everyone. With only 5% of accidents happening there and a small percentage of the overall road deaths being from them It isn't such a death trap. In 30's tbh I don't speed through them anyway. 40's, 50's and the space in and out of them into 30 zones etc I have lots more respect for now. Worth it... Yeah Sore arse from cheap seats... Yes

Makes sense to me mate Doing a really thorough job there , look forward to the results

Enjoy bud

no worries

Those are the UK set out of my 2004 car here is another pic, I can include the other two faces for an extra 15 if you wanted

just noticed you want facelift, my bad

can sell you some stock faces for £30 + P&P

Jedward? Not on drugs? U having a laugh?? With hairdos like that and the amount of shite they talk they gotta be on something! My point was that they were on drugs and so I failed on the first one. Joke fail, never mind

You'd be better investing the time in living efficiently for a while like a complete cheap skate using www.moneysavingexpert.com you will probably find a better return on time invested and that doesn't cost you a penny to do. Or invest in Sarnie, that bugger always seems to turn lead to gold

English students still have to pay.... it's scottish people that get it free.

You would need to go to a relevant show as you suggest to be able to sell them. Maybe comic conventions or alike would also contain your customer base?

I do love lego but it's not something I can think anyone I know would want, as far as profitable business ventures go I can't see this being top of the list.

Just looked up their site and they have absolutely nothing in Scotland. This has actually angered me now, why should we in Scotland not have the option of doing a course and not receive 3 penalty points? I'd rather live back home and have three points personally

I guess they do, check out AA-drivetech i think they are running mine

think i'm sorted now thanks

It was entertaining

although I'm not going to be offering the service itself I will sell the parts you need to do it as a DIY
