Driving licence points
Hi,
I have three penalty points on mu driving licence which are due to expire in August this year.
In Feb I attended a driving awareness course to not get 3 points on my licence however, this week I was caught doing 36 in a 30 zone.
I have been asked to confirm it was me driving the car (which it was). Am I likely to receive points and am I likely to get the additional points that I did not get when i attended the course?
Any advice appreciated.

If I get caught speeding again will I get the points and have to pay the fine for the first offence?
No, this is a myth that we sometimes get asked to confirm. If you successfully complete the speed awareness course, you will not have to take the points or pay the fine for the first offence if you get caught speeding again. However, you will have to pay the fine and take the points for the new offence.
Certainly this is what I was told when I took the course.
