The activities of registered Societies are also covered for Public Liability in the event of personal injury or damage caused to property of third parties. Students may occasionally be required to drive University vehicles. Comprehensive cover is provided for all University vehicles on the condition that they are used on University business. 8.2 Students intending to drive a University vehicle must provide a copy of their driving licence to the Department showing that they are suitably qualified to drive. A provisional licence is not acceptable.
Special restrictions apply to minibus drivers.
It should be noted that theft from unattended vehicles is not covered under any of the University's insurances. Equipment or belongings should therefore not be left in an unattended vehicle. In the event of an accident, students should follow the procedures which are kept in each University vehicle. 8.5 Occasionally students may be asked to use their own vehicle on University business, for which the Department will pay a mileage rate. Students will need to provide evidence to that Department that they have proper insurance.
