               The Company insists that all employees:
                   a.  Exercise reasonable care when driving
                   b.  Maintain their vehicles in a clean, roadworthy condition and in good operating order.
                   c.  Inform Management of vehicle maintenance issues including service requirements based on
                       mileage thresholds, engine warning lights; system warning lights, worn consumables, etc.
                   d.  Adhere to all motoring regulations and conditions
                   e.  Adhere to the regulations covered under the Road Traffic Act, 2002
                   f.  Familiarise themselves with the Penalty Points System and the Road Traffic Act, 2002.

               Any employee who wishes to appeal an imposition under the Penalty Points System should inform a
               Company Director before any appeal is lodged with the relevant authorities/court.

               It is the responsibility of employee’s assigned Company vehicles to maintain necessary records in order
               to identify other drivers of their car who may have been responsible for a road traffic offence affecting
               them or their vehicle.  It is the employee's duty to inform a Company Director immediately of any
               accidents, which occur including any penalty points endorsed on their driving licence. Any driver who
               loses their driving licence or receives an endorsement must immediately advise the Company, as this
               may have to be disclosed to the Insurance Company.

               3.21 COMMUNICATIONS
               We believe that it is essential that you are kept informed about any Company matter, including its
               plans for the future, which may directly affect you. We also expect and welcome feedback from you,
               and we have a variety of communication channels to encourage a two-way exchange of information.

               3.21.1 One-to-Ones

               3.21.2 Staff Meetings
