DRIVING PROCEDURES Clause Samples
The DRIVING PROCEDURES clause sets out the rules and expectations for how vehicles should be operated under the agreement. It typically covers requirements such as adherence to traffic laws, safe driving practices, and any specific protocols mandated by the employer or contracting party, such as reporting accidents or maintaining vehicle logs. This clause ensures that all parties understand their responsibilities when operating vehicles, thereby promoting safety, reducing liability, and minimizing the risk of accidents or legal violations.
