What must assigned drivers comply with when using department vehicles?

Assigned drivers are required to operate and park department vehicles in accordance with the laws and ordinances of the City and State to ensure safety and compliance with legal standards. This compliance helps maintain a professional image for the department and reduces the risk of accidents, liability issues, and legal repercussions. Following the established laws is crucial for ensuring the safety of the driver, their passengers, and the public. It also fosters responsible driving habits that reflect the values and expectations of the Oklahoma City Fire Department.

The other options presented may seem relevant but do not encompass the essential legal compliance aspect. For instance, operating a vehicle only during daylight hours or avoiding traffic does not directly address broader legal obligations, while ignoring speed limits during emergency responses would contradict lawful and responsible driving practices.
