The email you have received will go some way to protecting them from such bullshit.

I had an external agency write our co.car policy. When I read it I thought it was a joke. Then the extent of the blame culture was explained to me and I realised why they're written like they are.

Our company car policy pretty much points out that you shouldn't BBQ whilst driving (ok, not that bad, but it's close).
Having seen you drive Sheps I would say letting an employee have a rear drive 450bhp car is more irresponsible
