Volunteer Driver’s
Requirements
Drivers for off-site Evanger Lutheran
Church activities carrying passengers in their vehicles who are not
members of their own family must meet certain safety requirements. They
must have a valid driver’s license and be between the ages of 25-65
years old; if not, they must have a clean driving record – no speeding
tickets or accidents. They must carry auto insurance and, specifically,
liability insurance, as their insurance will be considered primary and
the church’s insurance secondary. A copy of the insurance card must
be on file at the church. The vehicle they are using must be safe with
no known major problems. They must not have been convicted of a misdemeanor
or felony. Evanger Lutheran Church reserves the right to do a motor
vehicle background check at the discretion of the pastor or council.
While transporting participants, every
person in the vehicle shall be wearing a seat belt and all driving laws
will be observed. Two adults are recommended per vehicle. Safe cell
phone use will be observed.

of
25 and 65 years of age, but have a clean driving record.

participants in is currently insured.
