The roles of Management, PROXY, and fleet controller carry significant risk and require extreme care due to legislation and their responsibilities.

Mishandling traffic fines, roadworthy issues, and errant driver behavior can result in arrest and imprisonment for any combination of these roles. Dealing with national traffic fines is complex due to the varied interpretations by the 270+ municipalities. While some companies have used third parties to handle traffic fines, these services only handle payments and do not fulfill the comprehensive responsibilities of the PROXY position.

These appointments encompass various aspects, including driver behavior, vehicular condition, roadworthiness, and advising employees and management. Gaining insight into these responsibilities requires in-depth knowledge to effectively address the associated challenges.

Apportioning risk to the responsible party is crucial in protecting all parties involved. Companies must ensure that the relevant appointees are well-informed and upskilled to manage this risky position. Management should understand that they bear ultimate responsibility for individuals lacking the necessary skills.
