I'm sure this must be on the site, but I did a search without success - what are the criteria to qualify to attend a workshop instead of a fixed penalty?

First offense and in a 30 zone for instance, up to 39 mph. My misses was told that if she didnt have another speeding conviction in the next 3 years, she would be offered the course again.

It also depends on the force involved. Some do this and some do not.

Obviously didn't learn much from the first course then!

You have to be offered one - 36 in a 30 and I wasn't, but that was North Wales and we all know what they are like! BTW, times have changed - the Police are now a Service not a Force

Have done one in Warwickshire (2006) - had 3 points at the time. I think the limit was three.

Criteria were 35 in 30 of 46 in 40. Any more and you get ticket.

You cannot do another course for three years.
