Purpose and legal effect of a motor vehicle policy
A motor vehicle policy provides organizations with a framework for the safe and responsible use of company vehicles and private vehicles used for work purposes. It establishes clear expectations for drivers while helping protect employees, organizational assets, and the wider community.
The template outlines responsibilities for authorised drivers, vehicle use, maintenance, health and safety, private use, fuel cards, operating standards, and the consequences of policy breaches. It also includes drafting guidance to help organizations tailor the policy to their vehicle fleet and operational requirements.
Organizations can customize this template to support consistent vehicle management practices and encourage safe driving across their workforce.
