Caregiver Connections Driving Policy

Before being permitted to drive your personal vehicle on behalf of Caregiver Connections, you are required to read and sign this agreement. Whenever you are driving on behalf of the organization, either in your own vehicle or any vehicle the organization owns, the following rules apply:

1. Keep your vehicle clean inside and out. The windshield also must be kept clean. The floor of the vehicle must be clean and free of obstructions.

2. Absolutely NO use of cellular devices (i.e. texting/using phone) while operating a motor vehicle with a client inside.  

3. The driver and all passengers must wear seat belts.

4. Obey all traffic laws, maintain proper distance between cars, etc. Do not under any circumstances attempt to keep a specific time of arrival promise by breaking traffic laws, or by driving in an unsafe manner. If following posted limits will make you late, stop somewhere and phone the people you need to meet, or call the volunteer supervisor and have someone there call them.  

5. Drive defensively. There is no point in being “dead right”.

6. Do not pick up hitchhikers or allow an unauthorized person to be a passenger in your vehicle while there is a client inside.  

7. Maintain automobile liability coverage equal to or greater than the limits recommended by your insurance agent.  

8. Provide us with a copy of the declarations page of your automobile insurance policy each time the policy renews. 

9. Sign the Driver’s Agreement.
