Thames Valley Police extend the range that they will offer speed awareness courses
Currently, motorists caught speeding in the Thames Valley area can, subject to their driving history, attend a speed awareness course at cost to them instead of accepting penalty points and a fine. This was offered to drivers who were travelling up to 10% plus 6 mph over the limit, the new plans will extend this threshold to 10% plus 9 mph. Thames Valley police suggest they will see an additional 6,000 drivers attending the course each year.
