Speed Awareness Course Cost
having a conversation with some friends the subject of speeding came up and that the cost of one of these is different in different police counties, surely the course should be the same price wherever its done?

The providers can charge what they like - but equally you are free to choose any course - so if it's cheaper in a nearby County you can go there.
I am surprised that the courses are currently less than the £100 fixed penalty (plus three points) that is the alternative - I expect them to be quietly raised over the next few months.

“Prudie, That's right. and if you payup straight away I think it's £60 not £100.”
I take it you are referring to the Fixed Penalty (£100 + 3 points) db. There is no discount for early payment. The penalty is £100.
Of course if the Speed Awareness course is deemed poor value you can always turn it down and go for £100 and 3 points instead.

No I don't, db.
If there is a "National" Scheme it should apply, er....nationally. There are far too many local deviations from so-called national schemes and processes (the very worst IMHO is the Scottish legal system, but that's another story). The idea of making the scheme a national one is that drivers are often caught speeding some distance from where they live. If someone from Cumbria has to travel to Dorset to do a half day course it could well add around ten hours travelling and about £100 worth of fuel. Hardly a straightforward way to deal with low level speeding offences.
