• All traffic laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining to the operation
of motor vehicles will be obeyed at all times. The driver will pay any
fines, parking tickets, or other assessments for violations of traffic laws,
ordinances, or regulations imposed when they are the responsibility of the

• Driver will wear a seat belt at all times and will require all passengers to
do so as well.
• Prior to driving the vehicle, a safety check will be performed. This will
