HeHe my last employer sent me on a defensive driving course

Any particular reason, or was he doing it out of the goodness of his heart?!

Possibly to protect the employer, which was a local authority who are big in to the training thing. Since I was classed as an outside/travelling officer, meaning I used my own car on authority business. They brought in the defensive driving course, as part of their H&S policy, duty of care and all that.
The course took the form of classroom excercises at the morning, with groups of 3 going out in the afternoon with a driving instructor, with each of the 3 taking a turn in driving, along with a running commentary from the instructor, "why did you do that etc" At the end we all got a little certificate to say we had passed.
