SAC - online

Has anyone done an online speed awareness course recently?

I've sadly been caught out in my car and been offered a SAC online, I wondered how people have found them - I think they're about 2-3hours long.

Also, it says I have until 11/11/21 to do the course - wouldn't it be beneficial to me to wait till the last minute to do the course? That way I wouldn't need to inform my insurance until then and at least I'd miss a possible increase for a few months.

(I have done a bit of research, and apparently whilst I don't 'have' to tell my insurance, it is beneficial to do so to stop them pulling a fast one in the event of a claim. I also gather some insurance companies won't increase the costs, but others do).

My misses had to do one.

It was a joke.

2 hours.

I heard it going on in the background while working from home. It was like a episode of "mongs say the craziest $hit"... embarrassing....

Most of it was run by a moderator whose spent her time trying to make sure there was an adequate connection to the rest of the group.

You have grown adults attempting it on a 20 year old phone, child's laptop or modem with a dial up.

Unless the insurance company asks the specific question on SA, I'm not sure your obliged to offer it up , are you ?

Not online, but I did one a few years ago. The course itself was just awful, nothing in there about how "speed kills".

The sobering thing was the number of total idiots on the course with me, people who I would be sharing the roads with in my local area. Only about 60% of the people on the course knew that the national speed limit was 70, for instance. A couple of people were worryingly impressed that I had managed to master a manual gearbox.

I'd take the points and fine any day over a SAC. Never done one and never will.
