Yep, Got done for speeding in Wales (35 in a 30 zone) and was offered the chance to take one of those courses! Had to go to all the way back to north Wales to take the course which was known as the 35 mph club, if you were going any faster than that you were not given the chance to attend. A long way to go and it still cost me £60 but at least i got away without any points :wink:
Cheers

In Hampshire they take away your licence, burn your car, seize your house, deport your family, on the principle it will stop you re-offending. Oops, sorry, guess who is a little disgruntled with his employer today? :wink:

--- Quote from: "muddyjames" ---I was advised in a digital tacho training course to not change the tacho in the vans I look after and to keep it to the BST. It was some reason about it being equal to the rest of Europe.
I too wonder about if I got caught and know I wasnt how would I prove it as an hour later / earlier which ever way round it is I may have driven out the village I may have supposidly been speeding through and on a motorway. That may show me doing double the speed limit!
Maybe the camers dont get changed and stay to the same rules as I have just said?

Digital tachos use UTC (universal time coordinated) - aka GMT - internally although you can set the display time to anything you want. UTC is used throughout Europe irrespective of what local time actually is, which must confuse the hell out of European drivers as mainland Europe is never on GMT :D Right now they are on what we call BST and when we go to BST they are on GMT+2 :?
