Relief Driver Clause Samples
A Relief Driver clause establishes the terms under which a substitute driver may temporarily operate a vehicle in place of the primary driver. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions for appointing a relief driver, such as during periods of illness, rest breaks, or scheduled time off, and may specify requirements like licensing, experience, or employer approval. Its core function is to ensure continuity of service and legal compliance while mitigating risks associated with unapproved or unqualified drivers taking control of the vehicle.
