Exceeding the speed limit or going too fast for the
driving conditions is a factor in 28% of all fatalities. It is
important that we all remember that exceeding the limit by just a
few miles per hour can have serious consequences.
The National Speed Awareness Course has been designed to
re-educate marginal speeding offenders. The course is offered to
drivers or riders caught speeding within the police's specific
criteria, and is an alternative to receiving points and a fixed
penalty.
Our aim is to change drivers' attitudes to speed by looking at
why they exceed the speed limit and then providing advice on how
they can avoid doing so in the future.
Each course provides five and a half hours of training and
consists of a two and a half hour theory session followed by three
hours of practical tuition with an Approved Driver Trainer.
Courses are currently available at Aylesford near Maidstone,
Rainham and Canterbury, the current cost is £111.00.
When you come along you need to bring your driving licence. You
will fail the course if you do not bring it. If you have a new
photocard licence you must bring both the card and the paper parts.
If you do not have a photocard licence you be required to bring an
additional form of identification, for example, your
passport.
