I hope it's a valuable experience. Whatever you do don't arrive late - did mine in November and they wouldn't let anyone in after 9:00. One unfortunate tried to get in at 9:15 and was politely told to bugger off !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 15 August 2017 Share Posted 15 August 2017 Courses are only 4 hours? In France they are 2 day courses. 9-5 each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, but they have a lunch break 10-4, so it's the same as UK standard 4 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 15 August 2017 Share Posted 15 August 2017 I genuinely believe that yes, there are some crazy drivers out there, but getting caught speeding is pretty much luck of the draw. No one is telling me that they are driving along a country road, meant to be at 50 mph and not, every so often, sneaking up to 60? Then it's luck of the drawer if you get caught by a mobile speed camera etc. People will do 35 in a 30 limit, often not realising it. One thing I do these days is on roads where the speed limit is clear, I set the cruise control to that limit, thereby knowing I won't go over it. I believe speed awareness is important. I also believe a lot of it is being lucky on any given day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
