Speeding is YOUR problem?

14/5/2014

A learner from Dorset has been fined for exceeding the speed limit on a driving lesson. She was clocked at 36mph in a 30mph hour limit on her lesson with her AA instructor. She was 'flabbergasted' to learn that SHE was liable for the speeding ticket siting that she had not been made aware of the liability by her instructor. She said "I was shocked to see the notification was in my name, I thought my instructor would have made sure that speeding did not happen, as that's what they're there for".  Accepting a 'speed awareness' course at a cost of £110 she has now changed driving schools but is still not happy at the outcome. 
Naive or ignorant?
This is something which I tell all of my students when they first take to the roads and the speedo starts creeping up over 30, slow down or you'll get the fine and the points. The law is clear that if a motoring offence is committed then it is the driver at the time of that offence that is liable for the subsequent points and fine. We can only advise!
