Driver's Training and Vehicle Use
 Requirements

Prior to driving a Lewis-Clark State College owned vehicle the following requirements must be met:

A. The operator of a LCSC owned vehicle, or private vehicle must possess a valid operator's license. Possession of this license shall be adequate proof of ability to drive unless the driver has restrictions. Revocation of the operator's license must be reported to the Administrative Services office.

B. Individuals who operate a college-owned, leased or private vehicle on a regular basis while conducting college business are encouraged to attend a defensive driving training program. Departments and units are encouraged to require defensive driving training for individuals prior to the operation of the vehicles.

No passenger shall be allowed that is not conducting official State business as defined by the State of Idaho Controller’s Office use of State vehicles policy.

D. Defensive driving training is mandatory for individuals involved in an at-fault accident while operating a motor vehicle for college business. Individuals have six months to complete training following the at-fault accident and may continue to operate a motor vehicle for college business during that time unless determined otherwise by their department or unit. If an individual does not attend the training during the six-month grace period, driving privileges for college business will be revoked until the training requirement has been satisfied. Please contact Administrative Services for information on defensive driving training courses.
