    I have been selected....

    Listen up losers.

    I have been selected to go on a speed awareness course on the 22nd January,

    yeah, jealous now , aren't you. Out of all the millions of drivers, they picked me. It's only £60 and they said they might even want to endorse me.

    thats good, isnt it ?

      They send speeders on those courses in Holland too, but they charge about 1500 euros for the privilege.

        Wohoo! I was also lucky enough to be one of the chosen few selected for said jolly a while back.

        In my excitement i never actually bothered responding to any correspondance they sent me and as a special reward i had my license autographed with a special message handwritten by a genuine DVLA elf.

          Yes, they use some sort of radar device, hidden in a white van, to detect people with special brain exhaust fumes, and when I came round that corner I bet it lit up like a Christmas tree.

            I didn't get that opportunity - they must like you.

              I think they have some criteria, like 1 or 2 mph over and they offer you the course, over that and you get the points

                I do hope we'll be given a full report of the day's events including a summary of what you learn and amusing anecdotes from your fellow graduates.

                  Good idea. Mitch, I set you a challenge

                  you have six days to come up with the most outrageous cover story that I can hit my fellow speedsters with. Something really funny

                    Just start fiddling with yourself and moaning in pleasure during the part where they show you the horrific crash videos and you'll probably be allowed to go home by dinner.
