So you'd have no problem cycling 17 miles each way then?
I'm saying it's retarded that the employers think there's no other way of commuting, than driving yourself.

Car insurance covers you whilst driving to work, but not usually for using it once at work.

If you have to drive to your central office in the morning then you have driven to work, if from there you drive to a remote location I'm sure that would be classed as business use and not covered by your insurance,

Whilst I agree with you on that point, I would rather the person I employ spend more time at work being productive, rather than cycling.

The job is working on foot though!
You start and finish the day in the same central location.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

No. It wouldn't it says driving to and from work wherever that work is. As long as you are not actually workingm while you are on your way there or carrying items relating to your job then you would be covered.

In County Durham the wardens are run around in a couple of company owned vehicles, driven by one of the staff.

Clearly, the drivers need a licence, but the wardens who are driven about and dropped off do not.

As regards going by bike, there will be some kit to carry and a uniform to wear.

Doable, but it may be the company prefers wardens to trundle about on four wheels.

Don't argue with me young lady. :smile:

The situation I mentioned occurs sometimes where I work if someone has to go and collect something from a supplier. If a company car is available then they borrow that, if not then they go in their own car and claim the mileage back.

Then that is business, because they are working and carrying out duties for they're employer. However, simply going to work and back is another matter altogether.:thumbsup:

Same problems every day, in the same places. So even staying within the confines of the town centre(15 minutes walking time) takes a dozen to cover.

If you are being paid during the time you are driving then it's business, that's probably why they all zip round on mopeds or in Smart cars round our way.
