If they don't have evidence they can't prosecute you...

you haven't actually said what speed you were doing. If it was (for example) 50mph in a 40mph area, I'd be inclined to see what evidence they have (run it through court). If you actually know you were doing more like a ton, slowed down because you saw them, and they said they clocked you at 65 mph in the 40mph zone, then I'd take it on the chin.
Did they give you a FPN ticket on the spot, or report you for the offence (generally worse).

Why his insurance history? When they run your name through the system it comes up if you have existing unspent points.. Nothing to do with the insurance system..

They can't actually give you on the spot points anymore for speeding, if that's what you mean by FPN (fucking penis nonsense?)
Now if you are caught speeding, they send a ticket off to the DVLA, give you a ticket to say what you were stopped for, then the DVLA decide what punishment to give out to you..

Yeah, i got done last summer, and said "so do i get 3 points now then?" and she said "we don't do that anymore with speeding, now we write a report and send your speed, and what speed zone you were in to the DVLA, and they decide if you should do a driver awareness course, or get points".. I got points, wankers.

Do you end up getting lumped with the 3 points that were deferred by taking that course as well, and therefore get 6 points instead of the standard 3?

Never heard of points being "deferred" by taking the course? When I took it it was instead of points + fine.
My mother also got caught twice in the same day, by the same camera. Got the course for one and took points and fine for the other...

I'd heard somewhere that the points were effectively deferred when you take a test and if you get caught again within the 3 years after you get lumped with both. Wasn't sure if it was true so thought I'd ask him if it was. Will have a google anyway.

I remember that, he was rushing to see me because I seduced her, then once she saw my gargantuan wang she ran away
