Company Van Policy_UK&ROI_LKQ-ECP_August2020

Following an incident Once an incident is reported, you will be asked to complete a Driver De-Brief Form with your Line Manager. Camara footage, driver behaviour tracker score and your daily vehicle check form must be submitted to the fleet department for review as part of the process. In the event of two or more non-recoverable crashes considered your responsibility and where the costs are significant: ■ We reserve the right to remove or suspend your entitlement, make changes to the type of van available to you in the future and insist on driver training if deemed appropriate ■ If the crash is determined as wholly the driver’s fault with no third party involvement and results in being declared a total loss by our insurers, you will not be entitled to a company van until a detailed investigation has been carried out and sent to the Fleet department for approval ■ Accidents must be reported to your line manager immediately and failure to do so is classed as a gross misconduct offence. Breakdown and recovery ■ Leave the vehicle using the safest exit and stand well away from traffic and wear your Hi- Visibility clothing ■ Call the emergency services if required. This information is available in your driver’s handbook ■ Contact Euro Car Parts Fleet for assistance on 0208 956 5030 ■ Do not attempt any repairs to the vehicle ■ Use your LKQ Euro Car Parts Bump Card to record all details of an incident. ■ Take your time when manoeuvring. Don’t rush as this could result in making a mistake or having/causing an accident ■ Maintain all-round observation prior to, and throughout, all manoeuvres. Use your mirrors and look around you all the time. Check how much space is available and only continue if it’s safe. It’s better to make an extra manoeuvre than risk a collision, no matter how minor. ■ Reverse into a parking space; it’s safer than reversing out where there are more hazards and it improves your visibility when driving away ■ Don’t rely solely on parking sensors; take your time to look at what’s around you, look out for pedestrians and objects that may be in your way ■ Don’t leave your van in a place where it’s likely to get damaged and avoid parking on a corner.
