Part of the job as a paramedic will be the ability to drive an ambulance safely and with skill and confidence. A clean driving record is essential as most employers will run motor vehicle background checks as insurers of employers are now requiring this. For this question, your interviewer will want insight into your driving record history and ability to navigate treacherous roads and extreme weather conditions. Many accidents happen in the rain, snow, sleet, or other inclement weather, and experience navigating roads in those conditions is imperative.

"In my current role, I drive quite frequently. I have a spotless driving record with no incidents or accidents. Living in a northern climate, I have experience driving in snow and rainy conditions with ease and know how to gauge when the roads may be bad. We also provide ambulance service to the university's athletic events, so I have a lot of experience navigating our ambulance in large crowds when needed."

"I would say that my driving skills are excellent. I have experience navigating both city and rural roads with ease and operating both auto and manual transmission vehicles. I have a great driving record except for one speeding ticket when I was 18 years old."

"In my current role, I assume most of the driving responsibilities when we are out on a call as I am very experienced behind the wheel of an ambulance. Working in a rural community, I am familiar with navigating back roads, country roads, and interstate highways in all kinds of weather and have even had to take our unit to some remote off-road locations for emergency calls. I have a perfect driving record and have always prided myself on that."
