Speed Awareness Courses

The Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Safety Camera Scheme launched the Driver Education Workshops in October 2004. The Workshops have been initiated to compliment the philosophy of the Safety Camera Scheme which consists of the 3 E's: Engineering, Education and Enforcement.

The workshops come under the Education strategy. Its aim is to change people's attitudes towards speeding, to make them more aware of their own responsibility for their actions and to develop a personal speed awareness strategy.

The offer of attending a course is only made for low-level speeding offences. Those who are eligible will receive a booking form with their penalty offer from Leicestershire Constabulary.

It costs £65* to attend a workshop and is offered as an alternative to the £60 fine and 3 penalty points.

* A course will be charged at £70 for all offers dispatched by the Road Safety Unit from 27th July 2010.
