Speeding course and room of denial.

They've all passed driving tests. They already know how they're supposed to behave. They simply choose not to through negligence or selfishness.

Knowledge is not the problem.

Actually, a lot of it is.

The course isn't mainly about teaching you what the law is, they should already know that.

It is mainly about teaching you why. A lot of people break the law because they don't think it makes sense. Learning the reasons behind the law makes you more likely to obey it.

Naw, I am more with Drago, I very much see your point, but such as the people in the middle lane on the motorway. They know and they have chosen that course of action regardless of others.

I attended one about 8 years ago. I was doing 35 in a 30 limit. The course was well run and I gained a lot from it. I came away feeling positive, almost like a refresher course in driving. Most I spoke to were about the same speed over the limit, I think the allowance is 38mph to get an invite for the speed awareness course. Again mostly were taking it all in, except one. A right PITA who thought he was a comedian and making jokes when the tutor was asking questions. Everyone gave him a wide berth.
There was no hatred towards cyclists or horse riders or anybody. When I went in to work next, a colleague asked me how it went ? I said pretty good, well worth the time. He`d been on one and said he thought it a waste of time. Myself I am willing to learn and if I did something wrong I`ll put my hand up. There are a lot of drivers who need an awareness course as well as a speed awareness course.

I would guess the middle lane brigade, like the 40mph everywhere lot, are simply oblivious
