Ive been on a speed awareness course and yes they showed us pictures of a crash on the M1 where the car that caused the whole thing was estimated to have been doing 133mph.

Quite rightly been moved to the right forum area. CSP will get a reputation about people saying speeding doesn't kill otherwise.

I'm sure no one wants that.

Dave-R. Speed awareness courses do not talk about 130mph crashes.

83% of drivers admit to breaking the limit, 17% of drivers are liars!
Ive done advanced driving courses almost to the level of traffic pursuit officers. Never done a speed awareness course but ive heard that they talk about crashes at 130mph which is a bit odd considering the only people that go on those are people who have gone within 12 mph of the limit i believe?

I know someone who went on a speed awareness course. They were told have fast you can travel on the M25 before the camera is activated.

Remember, 83% of drivers admit to going over the limit.

Doesn't have to be, but its simpler.  There are some bozo's out there that would moan its too complicated otherwise.
A slower speed also helps traffic flow

50mph heading into town due to the road narrowing to two lanes then a third lane merging, then narrowing back to two I imagine.
