There are about 25,000 people in my agency, and about 800 in my district office.  There is a new agency policy stating that anyone using a government vehicle must take a 4 hour online 'defensive driving' class and pass the test before checking out a car, effective 4/1/05. 

I go into the system today to take the course, only to learn that I am unable to get into the system -- all of the licenses that were bought have been used. 

How many licenses were purchased?

200

oops

The policy won't be waived, so I guess that either I will a) take my own car to meetings, b) take a 'certified driver' with me to meetings, or c) don't go to out of office meetings.

Hello, government work, huh?

That stinks.

I actually think it's pretty funny, esp now that they're trying to 'back out' the test results (and digital certificate) of those deemed "not needing to take cars" to free up 'test license'.

Math doesn't seem to be a good subject for the government. Weren't you talking about this test not too long ago (well up to a few months ago)? If you have to take your own car will they pay you wear and tear or gas?

What an oversight. Can they purchase more licenses so that more people can get them?

[vernacular-life.livejournal.com]

well, they're soliciting individual offices for funds. Licenses are $10/person and the budget's blown.........
