Oddly, you have to pass your PSV licence (at your expense) in order to get
employed by LAS, very little specific on the job training as far as driving
goes. They do a few days on skid pan & stuff, but thats about it.
Bex has recently started on the FRU's (fast respose units) which use 1.8
Vauxhall Zafira's, quite a quick car. They get one shift's worth of
training.
