Do I absolutely need to involve my employer in all this?

This is a very common question particularly when the applicant has only recently landed their job and is anxious to ensure that nothing interferes with the retention of the job.

The Court application must be supported by evidence which takes the form of affidavits.

If you are asking to drive in the course of your work, it will be necessary to prove that you will lose your job if you are unable to drive - the only way to do this effectively is with an affidavit from your employer.

If however you only need to drive to and from work, all you need to prove relative to your job is that you have one.

This can be done in your own affidavit and preferably by annexing to it a copy of your employment contract.
