Re: Changeover
A typically 40min - 1 hour driving assesment.
Done to show you are competent to drive RM vehicles, a box ticking, insurance excercise.
Nothing tricky, just basic driving, often assesed by the AA/RAC, etc.

Re: Changeover
Could you clarify "box ticking, insurance exercise" - what does it mean? and do i just basically drive around - same as a driving test ?Cliff Clavin wrote:A typically 40min - 1 hour driving assesment.

It's less intensive than a driving test but yes you do just drive around.
They used to pick the largest,crappiest van in the yard based on the theory that if you can drive that you can drive anything.

So will i be rejected to drive RM small vans if i do mediocre (i'm normally not a morning person) eg. accidently stall or something like that?

Re: Changeover
Someone who uses this forum recently failed the test. But that's very very unusal. The more you stress about it the harder you will find it. As long as you can drive a car around without crashing in to anything you should be fine. It's much easier than the standard driving test so as long as you have gained your normal driving license you should be ok! 
Union what Union? Do we have a union?
