Moving & road testing vehicles

Summary
Only authorized, fully trained, and licensed drivers should be given responsibility to move vehicles.
Road testing vehicle

Vehicles often need to be road tested, or simply moved from one place to another in the workshop or immediate environment. Accidents can occur at this time, especially if the driver involved is inexperienced or unqualified.

Only authorized, fully trained, and licensed drivers should be given responsibility to move vehicles. Only the most skilled and experienced drivers available should be allowed to test higher performance vehicles.

Have someone outside the vehicle supervise any vehicle movement inside the workshop, especially in restricted spaces, when reversing, and when nearing blind corners.

Make sure that customers and visiting drivers to your workshop are aware of your rules for moving cars. Keep the keys for all vehicles secure and away from the vehicles when not in use.
