Action Response Team employees shall observe all rules and regulations for safe driving as defined by the State of California Department of Motor Vehicles.
Safety belts shall be used by all occupants traveling either in a vehicle owned, leased, or rented by Action Response Team or in private vehicles while on Action Response Team business. Drinking, possession of alcohol or illegal drugs in vehicles or driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited. For long distance trips, if there is more than one qualified driver, such drivers should consider rotating every two hours. No driver should drive more than 10 hours during a 24 hour period. If there are not enough drivers to rotate, an overnight stay should be planned. Avoid conditions that lead to loss of control - driving while sleepy or inattentive, or driving too fast for road conditions. If the weather is inclement, consider stopping and staying overnight in a safe place. Do not use a non-hands free cell phone while driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe area to use a cell phone or have a passenger operate it. Accidents shall be reported immediately to the local police department and to your supervisor. Properly maintain vehicles and their tires. Worn or underinflated tires can increase the risk of rollover.
