I mentioned several posts back that I got done for speeding on the motorway.  47mph on the M1. In one of those variable speed limit areas, where they had dropped the speed to forty.

To be honest, I’m not sure I even remember seeing any signage and was likely just driving along with the flow of traffic.

Any road up (pun intended), earlier this week, I attended the “Motorway Awareness Course” that they kindly offered me. For ninety quid.

And you know what… it was actually quite good and certainly better than three points on my licence.

I’d gone there, full of indignant anger and a pocketful of questions relating to motorway signage, and I came away feeling much better and with all my questions answered.

I think I actually enjoyed it.

I think the other 22 people on the course with me, quite enjoyed it too and it doesn’t do any harm to have a refresher every now and then, does it?

I even made a suggestion that they said they would pass on to Highways England for consideration:  those red X’s on the gantry which mean the lane is closed, should have another sign underneath that says “BMW drivers: this applies to you too”.
