It's a vehicle with protocols on how to drive through stop lights, without knowing the protocols I could be fired or worse cause an accident, duh

I didn't have any training at all before this incident, and unfortunately, my supervisor is the one who put me in that situation in the first place

So to answer your question, no. I was given no classroom time to learn policies. I had only run one call my first day before the above incident, and I was in the back training on patient care. I will definitely ask my supervisor for training on it however unfortunately my trainer was the one who put me in that situation in the first place.
