Who is responsible for parking fines and speeding offences?

Do NTSU vehicles have a mileage charge?

NTSU only charges a contribution towards fuel costs, which is normally calculated on a mileage basis.

For an estimated cost for long journeys, please contact your:

Society Officer (for societies), or
University Sports Officer (for sports clubs)

before submitting a booking request.

Can NTSU vehicles be taken abroad?

Yes, some NTSU vehicles can be taken abroad, subject to approval.

9-seat vehicles and the Ford Transit Van may be used abroad where appropriate approvals and insurance arrangements are in place.
The NTSU minibus (10–16 seats) cannot be taken abroad.

Before any overseas trip can be approved:

Insurance arrangements must be reviewed and approved by NTSU's insurers.
The trip must be authorised by the House Services & Compliance Manager.
Sports Clubs should work with their NTU Sports Officer.
Societies should work with their NTSU Societies Officer.

Early discussions are recommended to allow sufficient time for the necessary approvals and insurance checks.

What should I do if my driving licence or medical circumstances change?

If your driving licence details change whilst on the NTSU Driver List, you must notify NTSU immediately.

This includes:

Endorsements or penalty points
Driving disqualifications or suspensions
Changes to your licence entitlement
Medical conditions that may affect your ability to drive

You must notify your Society Officer (for societies) or NTU Sports Officer (for sports clubs) who will liaise with the House Services & Compliance Manager.

Failure to declare relevant licence or medical changes could invalidate your insurance cover.

Do I need to complete the driving assessment every year?

No. Drivers do not need to complete the Practical Driving Assessment every year.

Once completed, it normally remains valid for three years.
Drivers must re-register at the start of each academic year by completing the Driver Registration Form.
Drivers who do not re-register will not be added to the Driver Register for the new academic year.

You will only be required to complete another assessment if requested by NTSU due to operational, safety, disciplinary or insurance requirements.
