Bah. So I'm a child killer.

Right, I'll take the SAC then if offered.

No way! That's a clear case of entrapment. I bet there weren't any warning signs which as everyone knows they have to display. You should ask for the calibration certificate. If all else fails, tell them you are a professional footballer. If that doesn't work, tell them you lent your car to Richard and Judy that day.
 
A friend got caught doing 90 in a 70 here... she had to do a mandatory 4 hour online course to avoid the points.... that will definitely teach her a lesson :p
 
I got caught by a gun for doing 34 in a 30 several years ago. Posted about it on here and basically received a load of hate. Cheers all.

Did the course and walked out - was quite interesting but not applicable to my circumstances. Felt aimed at idiots doing silly speeds in densely populated areas but whatever...

Git was hidden behind a bush.
 
Perhaps you received a "load of hate" for moronic comments...or the fact you whinged about it like a little girl rather than manning up and accepting it?

You don't get that sort of reaction here for doing 34 in a 30, you get that reaction for acting like a tool about it...if you can't tell the difference between your reaction and Rilot's then there's probably no hope for you :p

Indeed, but stuff like car modifications can be physically checked in the event of a claim etc.

I'm led to believe there is absolutely no way to check driver awareness course participation unlike license points.

There's no way to easily check where the car is parked overnight, what its used for etc either

True, but if your car is broken into overnight and the location isn't where you claimed to park it then you might have a harder time getting them to pay out.

Can that really be the case?

I park our cars on the drive but, maybe one night each month, one may be parked on the road in front of the house, perhaps having unloaded there and not bothered moving it (the drive is about 15 metres from the front door). I'd consider it pretty unreasonable if they didn't pay out in the event of a claim.
 
I doubt that would make much of a difference, which is why I said you might have a harder time getting them to pay out, especially if they are looking for excuses not to pay out.

Although I'm not sure how they could find it as it isn't in an accessible database.

As I've said in a few threads on here before, this statement is true - although I do not condone fraud.

I used to run that database - it's called nDORS. It takes feeds in from the SAC and other training providers (one way inbound only) and can only be queried by the police to check eligibility to be offered the course in the first place. Insurance companies have no access.
