VEHICLE POLICY An employee assigned to an AJK vehicle will be held liable for any and all damage incurred should the employee allow the vehicle to be driven by any person other than the authorized (employee) driver. No employee shall permit any person who is not employed by AJK and/or who is not properly licensed to operate an AJK-owned vehicle at any time. All employees assigned to a vehicle must have their driving record and a valid drivers' license registered with AJK prior to driving the vehicle. AJK vehicles shall be used for business or commuting to and from work. Employees are responsible for all moving and non-moving violations that occur while driving an AJK vehicle. AJK vehicles may be equipped with GPS monitoring devices. All employees who are either required or requested to drive for AJK are expected to do so in a safe, courteous manner, and in conformance with all applicable laws. Employees driving for AJK are required to have a valid driver’s license and a safe driving record. Any employee cited by the authorities for “driving under the influence” while operating an AJK vehicle or on an AJK errand in a personal vehicle may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Employees driving or riding as passengers in either AJK or personal vehicles on AJK business are required to wear seat belts. Under no circumstances may anyone ride in the back of an open vehicle. Employees driving personal vehicles on AJK business must have automobile insurance as required by state law. Because AJK believes in safe driving habits, any traffic violations received while in a vehicle on AJK business will be the sole responsibility of the employee. AJK does not assume responsibility for damages to any personal vehicle while on AJK business. Employees are encouraged to take steps to safeguard their vehicle from damage. Employees violating any of the above driving restrictions may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. For more detailed information on the AJK Vehicle Policy, refer to the AJK Fleet Safety Policy and Protocol. CELL PHONE USAGE Use of a cell phone while operating a vehicle or any potentially dangerous equipment may impair the employee’s ability to devote their full attention to the duty of operating the vehicle or equipment safely. It can present a distraction and prevent the employee from focusing attention on other vehicles, road conditions, safety concerns, and pedestrians. As a result, AJK prohibits the use of cellular telephones while driving without the use of a hands-free device. If an employee operates a motor vehicle while using a cell phone, the cellular phone must be used with a hands- free listening device. It may not be used under any circumstances that would distract an employee from the duty to drive in a safe and non-negligent manner. Drivers are encouraged to let cell phone messages go to voice mail, pull off the road/street, and park safely to make or return calls. Employees should also use safety belts and adhere to all posted speed limits and signs. All AJK employees driving on company business must review and sign the AJK Driver Distraction and Mobile Device Use Policy. Revised January 2024 Page 28 of 55
