Since my course is not till mid October and my renewal is in September,, I will say nothing. Especially as I have 12 years No Claims. They ask if any pending convictions, but your kerb crawling and soliciting young men are non motor related, so no need to declare them. Oh, sorry you're on about the the awareness course, not a pending conviction so again, no need to declare. I hope I've not let the cat out of the bag...

As I understand it you have been sent a written NOTICE OF INTENDED PROSECUTION. Once that document is served, I would suggest that you have an impending prosecution for driving a motor vehicle and exceeding a statutory speed limit. That prosecution is pending until something happens to change it, such as: You go to Court and are found not guilty or CPS offer no evidence at Court The Police/CPS/Local Safety Partnership inform you that no further action is being taken You are convicted or pay the fixed penalty, in which case the impeding prosecution becomes a conviction or penalty notice with driving licence endorsement. You attend a National Speed Awareness Course and in consequence are advised that No Further Action will be taken. My view is that you have an impending prosecution until you complete the National Speed Awareness Course. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, that is rapidly changing. I got caught there on 29-05 for doing 152 (after correction) where the limit was 120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...yes I agree, very pedantic 😉😉😉 but factually correct lol - and I think the insurers actually changed theitr wording, as previously it was any "accidents claims or convictions" and now they have added "current or pending". However, as the insurers have no way of finding out until an endorsement has been applied, I'd be willing to use the "selective memory" option and keep schtum. Incidentally @Nightcrawler Do NOT miss the appointment, as once you do so it becomes locked then you face the other option which is endorsement and fines.
