is not a County-wide policy or procedure in place that enforces such an action. We were informed that permit revocation is ultimately up to the administrative unit. The Safety Office is also responsible for monitoring all County employee drivers licenses and when a driver has more than 8 points on their license, drug or alcohol offenses, or a refusal of a sobriety test, the County driving permit is revoked for a minimum of 18 months. It is important to note that not all points on a drivers license qualify towards the 8 point maximum; applicability of points is determined on a case by case basis. If a County-wide policy or procedure were memorialized either in the SOP or through Legislative resolution, vehicle operators may be more attentive to the driving conditions and the cost of accidents could potentially be reduced. Lastly, an analysis could be performed to determine how much money is paid by the Insurance Department to cover costs below the policy deductible of $25,000. It may be discovered that a policy with a lower deductible would result in lower aggregate expenditure on vehicle accident costs.
