By all rights, the employer should be on the hook for lights, moving violations, etc. They don't give the UPS drivers parking tickets, those are the responsibility of UPS. And they sure don't let pizza delivery guys drive cars without proof of insurance.
Traffic tickets on a company owned van != moving violations.
They do let pizza delivery guys drive with busted out light and any tickets incur from doing so would be thier own responsibilty since maintaining thier own car is. Non-megachain drivers are often hired without insurance and even pizza hut et al don't check to make sure it is kept current.
