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.
