Please note that answering yes to any of the following driving questions may prevent you from being a volunteer driver at this time. A review of your record from the Department of Motor Vehicles will be used in our decision making process. This decision typically has no bearing on your being able to volunteer in other capacities. Your driving record will be rechecked periodically and permission to drive may be approved when your driving record is free of convictions that prevent us from granting approval at this time.

Have you had more than one minor moving traffic violation in the past year or more than two minor moving traffic violations in the past three years? *
Have you had any major speeding violations in the past two years? Major speeding violations are more than 15 MPH over a posted limit of 45-55 MPH or more than 12 MPH over a posted limit of 40 MPH or lower? *

1. I possess a valid Oregon driver’s license and valid liability insurance coverage as required by state law.
 
2. I understand that I must be 21 years or older to operate my own vehicle and 25 years or older to operate any church vehicles (a CDL is required to operate vehicles with 16 or more passengers.)

3. I understand that in case of any type of accident, injury or vehicle damage, the church’s liability insurance policy does not provide primary or direct insurance on my vehicle. The Church’s insurance shall take effect only after my personal auto, or other insurance that may apply, limits are exhausted.
 
4. I will advise Horizon Community Church of any change in the information provided on this form including, but not limited to, involvement in a car accident in which I am cited, any citations for moving violations, non-renewal of license, change of insurance company, change in amount of insurance coverage, termination of insurance, or change in vehicle.

5. Students riding in my vehicle(s) will be seated in an appropriate front or back seat, never outside of the cab of the vehicle, and will be secured with individual seatbelts in good operating condition (no double belting or cross-belting of passengers is permitted). When required by state or federal law I will have child restraint devices for each child up to 8 years of age or 4’9’’ tall.
 
6. I will carefully transport children and adults, students and school personnel, under my care, including obeying all traffic laws. To my knowledge my vehicle is in safe operating condition.
