Member Manual

17. Treatment and Operation of Co-op Vehicles

As a member, you agree to treat Co-op Vehicles carefully and ensure that your Designated Driver treats Co-op Vehicles carefully. You also agree to leave the car clean inside & out and to secure the lock box properly against theft. Whenever you leave the car somewhere, you agree to secure it against theft. You or your Designated Driver must operate Co-op Vehicles according to the operators manual located in the vehicles. You will be liable for any damage to the vehicle that results from disregarding these rules.

Children under the age of 12 are required to wear seat belts in the rear seats and where appropriate, use child seats appropriate to their age and size. Proper regard must be given regarding messes made by children walking on seats or eating in the car. Please leave the cars clean.

Particular care should be exercised when using roof racks or bike racks. You must ensure that they are well secured to the Co-op Vehicle and that any bicycles or other gear is properly secured to the racks. You must also ensure that neither the rack nor gear will damage the Co-op Vehicle.

Smoking is prohibited in all Co-op Vehicles.

Pets are restricted except inside a secured pet-box. Proper regard must be given to the cleaning of pet hair and other messes. Where a vehicle is identified as being totally pet-free (for allergy sufferers) you must not carry pets in that vehicle at all. Failure to clean cars after transporting a pet may lead to termination of your membership.

Vehicles may not be:

• driven in any race or competition,
• used for any illegal purpose,
• used while the driver is under the influence of any intoxicating substance, or
• used on roads that are not regularly maintained.

You are responsible for maintaining a low noise level at the designated parking spot and to park only in that spot. Immediately report any illegal use of the spot by a non-Co-op Vehicle to the Office Manager.
