Yep, if they are going to be driving a RM vehicle, but sometimes it takes ages for it to be arranged. Nothing to worry about, just drive sensibly and listen to the feedback that the instructor gives you.do all new starters need to do this?

Re: Driving test for shared van
I would definitely query that, unless of course they're paying you overtime to come in on you're day off. When I did mine it was on a normal working day, lasted for just over three hours. I then did some indoor work till my finish time.greengiant wrote:day off changed to thursday, but I have to go in for my driving assessment.
