I think this has been the case for quite a while - a few on here have already given reports of such courses.

Since March last year for some reason.

Except not everybody has zoom. For me it was easier to collect 3 points.

I’ve done the motorway course via zoom recently.

Only lasted 2 hours and the instructor constantly banged on about how wonderful smart motorways are, which I thought was a little odd.

Wife completed hers half an hour ago.

I helped by shoving the cat on from stage left and listening to V8's on You Tube next door.

Did mine this morning, just under 3 hours. 9 people on the course, it was quite informative, found it best just to keep quiet and listen.

If you have a smartphone, a tablet, or any form of laptop that can access the internet and has a webcam then you can attend a Zoom meeting.

or take the points and have no affect on your insurance premium whatsoever...

Actually it may even go down.

More efficient. But just charging the profit margin and not bothering with the course would be even more so.

Nobody has Zoom until they do. You're connected to the internet when you write stuff here. You have Zoom if you want/need to.

But some people believe Zoom is the work of the devil.

I'd be interested to know why Boosted LS1 won't use it.

Before they went online, were they still doing the 'classroom' part and the 'observed driving' part?

I had to share my observed driving part with an ex-con gone evangelist, who wouldn't shut up about how his life had been turned around since he'd found God.

Did my best to ignore him as I didn't want to fail the course for killing someone wink
