Ambulance Driver

In a time of medical crisis, California residents will often rely upon the training and skill of an ambulance driver to deliver them swiftly and safely to emergency medical care. In a medical emergency, victims are among the most vulnerable of transported passengers and so the trust that we put in ambulance drivers is critical.Because so much rests on the shoulders of these professional drivers, the People of the State of California and the California Department of Motor Vehicles must ensure that this select group of drivers abide by a stringent standard of training and certification. Therefore, an ambulance driver is required to possess a valid California Driver License AND an Ambulance Drivers Certificate.
California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 2511, reads: “Licenses/Certificates for the operation of ambulances may be issued only to those persons or entities which operate ambulances designed and operated exclusively as such and which are used to respond to emergency calls.”
