Over the weekend attended an EVOC (emergency vehicle operators course). It was well worth it, especially at the 1/2 price with retired rates.
According to the instructor it was the smallest class he ever had. Only eight people. It was a fun class for me. Not so much for the young whippersnapper fire fighters and ambulance driver wannabees. For them it is a required course, must pass.
Actually learned a lot. Like what emergency vehicle drivers must and cannot do. All the legal liabilities if not operating exactly within the confines of the laws.
Lots of good info on vehicle dynamics, coefficient of friction of road surfaces.
Mostly took the course for the fun of it. The driving qualification course was a blast.
