The operator of a state-owned or operated motor vehicle shall be responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe and prudent manner and in accordance with all applicable county, township, city ordinances and state laws pertaining to the operation of motor vehicles. Any fines or penalties arising from the operation of a state-owned or operated motor vehicle in an unlawful manner are the responsibility and obligation of the operator.
