Who can attend a Speed Awareness course?
From October 2005, drivers who are detected speeding in Devon and Cornwall, whose offences fall within the criteria, will be offered the option of attending a Speed Awareness course as an alternative to the Fixed Penalty process (three penalty points and a £60 fine). Named drivers are only permitted to attend one Speed Awareness course within a three-year period. If a named driver subsequently commits a further speeding offence, then that offence will be dealt with via the Fixed Penalty or Court process. Drivers attending the course will not be required to pay the fine or receive penalty points provided the course is successfully completed. However, those offered the Speed Awareness course will be required to pay a course fee of £80. If an individual fails to attend the course or is unable to satisfy the course conditions, the offence will be referred to the Devon & Cornwall Safety Camera Unit for processing. Please read carefully the terms and conditions sent to you by the course prov
