In-person courses are still available, but why choose one if you can just sit in front of a screen, watch some videos and tick a few boxes from time to time? Unless you cannot use a computer and we know Braverman can. It’s not just a tick box excercise. You have to join a live course on zoom or teams at a time of their choosing.

'speeding course' . Just a manufactured distraction from her unregulated immigration failures Just amazed that the BBC is colluding in this, but then again , it's not politically influenced,..... Edited by Forest Hillbilly (22 May 2023 9.44am)

It started at 9.30 and was done by 12 with a 15 min break. Some people didn't say anything. There were a few questions for which answers on paper were requested to be shown to your screen. Most of it was the presenter showing pictures and videos and asking people what they noticed about the likely speed limit or stopping distances, which were answered by a few more involved than others.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

Once they realised that you were there, I’m surprised they didn’t invite you to run the course.

The course was run by a driving school instructor whose presentation skills were not that high, and who thought he is a comedian but isn't. There were lots of stifled yawns. Even so, as already have 6 points on my licence through being caught twice in the same week by newly installed lights in an area where the limit had recently been lowered from 40 to 30, neither of which I was aware of, I don't think anyone is likely to replace him with me!

You never stop learning!

i found out my road knowledge was out-of-date. I thought all roundabouts were a 30mph limit. Not so, Grandad.
