...being sent on a course......? Does anyone know what is involved in this course? Its only suppose to be three hours but its always better to know what I am in for! Thanks

My daughter went through one here in Michigan. It was a safety driving class but she said they talked about everything else but driving lol.
Not all courts give this option, she knows she lucked out; her only option was a court hearing or pay the ticket and points would have been on her record. ($90 for the ticket or $75 for the class)

lucky you, i have 9 points and wish i had that option.

You get to listen to lectures and hear statistics and watch movies.

I imagine it will include scenes from a serious road accident - bodies covered in blood etc - to show you that SPEED KILLS ! Think yourself lucky you're getting away with not having points on your licence !

IT costs around £50 this course and spends the time telling you everything you already know about driving with an emphasis on why you shouldn't speed.

Lucky you! They usually just go over safe driving tips and stuff, kinda like Driver's Ed all over again

Lucky you. I lost my licence for six months, because of these fascists. If only I had joined the police when I was younger.

The instructor usually does all the talking. You could have and Q/A at the end.

Usually they make you watch an instructional video. My mom had to do this the first time she got a ticket. After that it was normal points.
