Anyway, the Sussex Safer Roads office very kndly sent me an invitiation to attend a Speed Workshop for £105 instead of paying the £60 fine and getting points on my licence. After a bit of thinking about it, I decided to go on the course, which was this morning. I was first to arrive today and dutifully watched the organisers place 9 chairs around the table. As it turned out 7 attended, 1 was 45 minutes late (and was sent home - you are not allowed to be late!) and another failed to show completely. However, out of the 7who attended, there was myself, one chap (a friend - I won't mention names) who has been a member of CCF and who we sometimes see at congresses who I recognised straight away - and another who, when he walked in, I recognised straight away but couldn't place him. It turned out that he is a current member at Horsham and has played in a county match at CCF!
So 3 of the 7 who attended were active chess players who, at the very least, all knew of each other. Does this mean that chess players are more likely to break the speed limit than other minority groups?
