Just come back from a Speed Awareness Course.
4 hours of it. Still it saved me getting 3 points. |  | | |

Police said the main aim was to educate people about how to drive more safely, to prevent accidents that can kill or seriously injure people.
Phew. I was afraid they might plan to issue speeding drivers with fines :-/ |  | | |

Been on 2.
A pain in the ass,but worth not having the points.
Pity the police won’t put as much time and effort using their resources to catch the real bad guys out there. |  |

Catching bad guys is a drain on public finances as rehabilitation that doesn’t work can become quite expensive. It’s far cheaper to let them run around hurting people and ruining lives. | |

My sister went on one of those last year after being caught in Gorseinon......to make forum readers aware and to save them from any future risk of a ticket i.e. from time to time there is a mobile 'Go-Safe' speed camera van sometimes parked by Gorseinon ex -Valeo factory now called Toyoda Gosei.
The camera is usually factory side in the layby and speeding cars get caught whilst emerging from (camera visually obscured by) the uphill-bend... Many (even careful and decent motorists) do not realise there is a 30 mph speed limit because many get the impression it's a foot-down-on-the-peddle type road. The steep-ish incline and uphill climb creates an illusion of lesser speed also. |  |

I’ve been on one - not as painful as some make out and I didn’t learn anything new, but I was absolutely staggered how little people knew about the laws of the road and road signs. 50-60+ year olds were the worst culprits. I actually felt more unsafe on the roads after coming out of there. |  |

I suspect they are a revenue-raising tactic in some cases....There are places where speed bumps would do the trick to slow down traffic.....I reckon if they placed those L.E.D lights-signs you tend to see approaching schools complete with a speed limit and camera sign on top you'd see a fall in speeding.
That IMO is vastly safer than having a mobile speed camera forcing many a driver to 'hard-brake' whilst emerging from a bend (like in Gorseinon emplacement I've mentioned) where the speed camera has been deliberately obscured so it is seen way too late. If the Gorseinon emplacement is about road safety? Why the f#ck has it been put there? | |

They're always in that spot in Gors. Nearly everyone flashes oncoming traffic to warn them. It's most amusing. |  |

Yeah they do, but early morning after the kids have been dropped off at school is a vulnerable time when that road tends to be quiet.
I pre-warn other motorists there also myself, imo flashing them/warning them thus stopping them hard-braking is a D.I.Y public spirited safety action. | |

Seen the van there several times. Very sneaky positioning. Must be a right cash cow. |  |

I find young girls/women are the worst, most haven't got a clue or maybe they just don't give a f*ck. |  |

Indeed my sister had a ticket there and it presents a risk to motorists. If there was real serious intent to stop accidents?.... That would be the very last place any road safety minded person would think of to situate a mobile speed camera van. | |

There should be more speed cameras about, what’s the point of these speed awareness courses? Anyone caught speeding should be booked and fined, caught 3 times and a 3 year ban. Speed kills, the standard of driving these days is appalling. |  | | |

It's a case of where, why, how and for what real reason certain speed cameras are emplaced!
Revenue raiser or accident prevention?... The GATSO situated for example close to Penyrheol School and strategically situated near to a built up area with junctions and crossing area's would undoubtedly be justified by many to be a common sense initiative.
Other ridiculously situated cameras?..... Definitely not!
The risky ones that the RAC regard to be an accident causing danger should never in a million years be 'more-of'. | |

Belgrave Road in Gorseinon should definitely have one, at certain times of the day it is like Brans Hatch. There is a 20mph speed limit in force there and very few people, especially students from the College, take any notice of it.
My Grandson attends Pontybrenin Nursery, I pick him up from there 2 days a week, it is a dangerous section of road and there will be a very serious accident there one day. | | | |

They don’t really put that many police resources into it at all. A camera pings, someone sends a letter, job done most of the time. |  |

I had to go on an awareness course. Got caught at the bottom of Sketty Lane. I found the course fairly dreary. At the end, the gentleman delivering the course went round the room asking what people have learned. I said I needed to learn where the speed cameras were in Swansea and make sure I slow down before getting to them. He told me off. | |

They take a dim view of humour, you can be chucked off the course if you don't take it seriously. |  | | |
