The effect of this is that a driver can do two courses within three years, provided one (and only one) of the offences occurs in Dorset.

So if you commit an offence in, say, Yorkshire but live in Cornwall you have to go back to Yorkshire to take the course?  Or is it just that if the offence is in Dorset but you live "up north" you have to travel back down to Weymouth?

Courses on the national (NDORS) scheme are held all over the country, plus online, so you wouldn't have to travel back to the scene of the crime.

Dorset also offer online courses.

I did an NDORS course last October*.  The only option was online.  There were no courses locally that you could attend in person


*The course only took a couple of hours and was straightforward.  Not sure why many people seem so against them

Things may have improved since then. I did an online course earlier this month, but had a choice of classroom courses locally. That's in SW London: it may be different elsewhere.

NDORS offer courses online and in the classroom and participants can either do an online course or travel to a local classroom. 

Dorset also offers both but their classroom courses are only offered in Dorset. So the only people who will have to travel are hose wishing to do a classroom course under the Dorset scheme.
