Can you do a speed awareness course on a mobile phone?

[un1corn]

So i need to do one of these fking things.

I dont have a laptop or webcam on my own computer. I have a smartphone, but it's only a small one, a Sony Xperia compact from about 3 years ago.

The offence was merseyside but im guessing I pick Lancashire because that's where I live?

That being said, what's to stop me doing one down south where the price is a few quid cheaper? Is this allowed, seeing as they're all online?

Anyway, can I use my mobile? Apparently they use zoom or something? I don't know if I can do it on my desktop and use my phone as a camera for the course maybe?

Goddam this is fking stupid.

36 in a 30 zone is far too fast, that must be something like an indicated 40. Stop complaining and take your medicine.

Besides it isn't difficult to avoid being caught, if you see a big yellow camera or police van, it is probably a good idea to slow down.

Perhaps we should offer camera awareness courses?

For an Android phone try using Droid Cam, install it on desktop and phone and voila webcam. It's how I've been doing it since the lockdown made buy a webcam cam rarer than hen's teeth!

If you have nothing to say relating to the OPs original question why don't you just fk off.
Sanctimonious dick heads like you are ruining this forum.

I was thinking not everyone has a car so crap the speedo over reads by 11%, he'll no doubt be the one doing 63mph in the middle lane complaining about speeders passing him on the left.

Not this old cr4p again!

Speedometers do not all over read by large amounts!

As I've posted countless times, my 2001 BMW 330ci reads @ 1mph over at 110mph - As verified by the Thames Valley Police forces calibrated measuring equipment (my speedometer was hovering just over the 110mph marker - pretty much showing 111mph, my sat-nav was reading 110mph, and my recorded speed was 110mph*)

At speeds below 100mph, my speedometer matches the sat-nav exactly - And that's a 19 year old car!

If I were doing 36mph, my speedometer would indicate @ 36mph, and not Warp Factor 9, as some people seem to think all speedometers do.

Yes it's possible the OP's speedometer could have been showing 40mph at a real 36mph, but it's just as feasible that their speedometer was showing 36mph at a real 36mph.

(* As it was @ 2am on Christmas day morning, and I was heading home to spend Christmas with my family, the Officers who pulled me over decided to give me an early Christmas present, and let me off with a caution to slow down - "Which was nice!" )

“If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing“ could also be worthy of a mention.

One page, and it’s already WW3. I love PH!

Yes, you can use a mobile phone for the course.
I guess even if the course doesn’t slow you down, worrying about the faff of attending it will

Interesting - my 2003 330d was always a good 8% out.
I wonder if one of us had a non-OE tyre size?

Who is complaining? I know I haven't


Maybe you could go on one of those anger management things

I dont have a laptop or webcam on my own computer. I have a smartphone, but it's only a small one, a Sony Xperia compact from about 3 years ago.

The offence was merseyside but im guessing I pick Lancashire because that's where I live?

That being said, what's to stop me doing one down south where the price is a few quid cheaper? Is this allowed, seeing as they're all online?

Anyway, can I use my mobile? Apparently they use zoom or something? I don't know if I can do it on my desktop and use my phone as a camera for the course maybe?

Goddam this is fking stupid.

Just not while you're driving please 😀

If you’re that annoyed at this, just take the points.

[scottfraser100]

If your phone can do zoom, then yes you can take the speed awareness course online.

Had a friend do that on Friday.

If your phone won’t do it, perhaps spend the £20 on a usb web cam for your laptop.

[jimbobs]

I did one recently- it was via Microsoft Teams, not Zoom.

I was on an iPad, but others were using phones.
