Speed awareness course (off topic)

D_P_Dance

A couple of months ago I was a bit too enthusiastic with the go faster pedal and was caught by a camera.

I  elected to take a Drivetech speed awareness course on line using teams,  this was was scheduled for last week. My son,  who uses Teams on a daily basis, did all the techie stuff for me so it should have been a walk in the park, 

It was not. We tried three times to get on line, and even with the assistance of the company running the course on the telephone were unable to get connected.. I could see and hear the trainer, but she could nor see me.

Eventually we gave up and I am now down for a face to face course when/if they restart . Today I received a "do not reply" email asking me to rebook an online course. I telephone the company and was told that it was a computer generated email and I should ignore it  The telephone options included a help function which was most detaoled, obvious there are problems with the system. 

I am unimpressed.  I pity the the great unwashed who have to set up a telephone hearing with a County Court..

@D_P_Dance, it might be an idea to post on the Techie forum where you might get some answers around the technical issues of using TEAMS and not about the speed issue (cannot guarantee that though!)

Thank you but any replies would no doubt be over my head.  I leave al of that stuff to my son.  I cannot even use a smart phone. .

Have you tried complaining to the land owner? She's very freindly apparently.

I'm currently doing 2-3 remote hearings a week with clients (mostly non-parking related matters), by telephone and video using BT Meet Me, MS Teams and CVP. These are not rocket science, and you don't need a degree in Advanced Information Technology to get connected.

Those who do have trouble are the ones who haven't bothered to do a practice run the day before, to make sure their camera and microphone are working correctly. It really is simple Janet and John stuff.

I am sure that it was not pilot error, my son uses teams a great deal for work.
