Online speeding course- anyone been on one?

[Rory786]

I have a speeding course tomorrow, its online and I'm worried about technical difficulties and not passing the course!
Has anyone been on one?

I’ve done one, it was fine. Learnt a lot and quite enjoyed it tbh. Don’t think you had to answer questions to ‘pass’, just attend and look like you’re listening. My one was a lot of group work and answering out loud.

Mine was exactly the same, I also found it quite interesting. Mine took place in the summer, one of the attendees was sitting topless in his garden. We had to look like we were paying attention and had some group questions at the end, which were easy to answer and based on content covered during the session. I piped up when I knew the answer, but got some wrong and it was no biggie, esp as I was listening when the correct answer was given.

I think you 'pass' the course by attending it not by answering a quiz.

Thank you for the replies. Sorry for the confusion, it says in the email to make sure you have good internet access etc of you will not pass. The last time I was on a zoom call it froze....

The pass is probably just a matter of completing attendance.

If your wifi could be flakey then if possible plug in a laptop to the router by Ethernet cable, and if necessary ban others in the household from internet use with videos, gaming etc for the duration.
Close any unnecessary software while on the course

If it’s the incoming connection that’s flakey then try the same, but you’re in the hands of the internet gods.

I have not done an online version of speed awareness but have done an attended course. It was well run and covered general knowledge of the roads and speed/risk awareness, the best element was sharing between attendees with a mix of drivers of all ages.
We had an ex policeman, a teenage girl who was most horrified with herself for accidentally exceeding 30 when the signs changed as she drove towards the sun and a teenage lad who we all assumed to be the typical boy racer but had the second slowest speeding incident due to him making the mistake of driving a works estate style van at car speed instead of the reduced van speed

Can you set up a wifi hotspot on your phone?
