 In order to drive ME vehicles, you have to complete an online defensive driving course. A separate course for van safety must be completed to drive the vans. In addition to the information from this course, there is a paper in the glove compartment of the van with instructions on what to do if an accident occurs.

 The ME Department's documentation of what they expect from students driving their vehicles is nonexistent. To drive the vehicles, you must complete online defensive driving training. This is a basic review of good driving practices and some facts about the vehicles. There is a paper, which isn't mentioned before you are allowed to drive, in the glove compartment of the vans explaining what to do if you are in an accident.

 == Van Accident of 2018 ==
-At midnight on the way home from a meeting, we stopped at Cookout. In the Cookout parking lot, the ME van we were driving was hit while parked. The damage didn't seem severe enough to warrant calling the police, so the van was returned to the ME parking lot. The next day, the ME Department was informed of the situation. They requested an incident report for insurance purposes, which we didn't have, and banned use of the vehicles for a month after learning that the incident occurred at Cookout.
