What is the primary objective of the VFIS Emergency Vehicle Driver Training (EVDT) Instructor Practice Test curriculum?

• A. To train only emergency vehicle drivers.
• B. To develop safe, proficient emergency vehicle drivers and capable instructors who can train others, assess skills, and ensure compliance with applicable laws and standards.
• C. To maximize vehicle speed during training.
• D. To focus solely on maintaining vehicles.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to create safe, proficient emergency vehicle drivers and capable instructors who can train others, assess skills, and ensure compliance with applicable laws and standards. This approach ensures that the program not only builds driving ability but also develops teachers and evaluators who can uphold safety, policy, and legal requirements across the organization. Training only drivers misses the instructional and evaluation aspects; maximizing speed is unsafe; focusing only on vehicle maintenance ignores driver proficiency and the ability to teach and assess.
