Are these always given as an option instead of 3 points?
I foolishly got caught few years back doing 36 in a 30 zone and Warwickshire police didn't give me the option of doing a course. My car insurance is crazily high and i'm sure the 3 points on my license wouldn't be doing it any help.
Also how long do points stay on my license for? |

If a simple speeding offence, they will show on your licence for 4 years, but will only be active for 3 of them.
Some insurance companies are crafty though and ask you if you have had any points or convictions within the last 5 years.
As for the speed awareness courses, they are becoming more prevelant these days, but aren't always offered as an option.
