Drivers license (a chauffeur’s license is not required). Each employee will be personally
responsible for any fines incurred as a result of driving or parking violations. In addition,
no employee is permitted, under any circumstances, to operate the vehicle with an
impairment caused by illness, medication, or intoxication.

USE OF VEHICLE: When agency vehicles are available, employees should use agency
vehicles before their personal vehicles. Employees are not permitted to use the vehicle for
non-business purposes.

and must report malfunctions or maintenance requirements to their supervisor, as well as
to the staff person assigned to monitor and/or maintain P.I.’s fleet.

FUEL: Unleaded gasoline should be purchased at the designated location. A credit card
is available at the location, but also requires an approved purchase order. Staff will use
self-service whenever it is available.

CLEANLINESS: Eating and drinking will not be allowed in the vehicles unless
approved by the manager. Employees using the vehicle will be responsible for cleaning
out any garbage left in the vehicle upon returning it to the assigned site. Smoking is not
permitted in any P.I. vehicle.
8.
ACCIDENTS: Do not move vehicle until authorized by notified authorities. Employees
must report any accident regardless of the extent of the damage or injuries involved. The
report must be made as soon as possible to the manager, but no later that 24 hours after
the accident. Employees are expected to cooperate fully with the authorities in the event
of an accident. However, employees should not make any voluntary statements other
than in response to questions by investigating officers.
