company vehicle liability
Recently I have been given the use of a company vehicle for which I have been assigned responsibility of damages and upkeep - fair enough.
However fellow colleagues are also afforded the use my specificly assigned vehicle but without the obligation of responsibility for damages.
I have been told that any damage done, I am responsible for (excess �0-�500) under the notion that my fellow workmates in honesty will admit any accidents on their behalf and pay accordingly - however I don't see this happening as I can't watch the vehicle 24/7.
Can my employer legally impose these terms on me or is there anywhere I can go to get further advice?
