Note that there are also "mobile work" contracts that specify things like "inside germany" or so, where you can really work from wherever you feel like it, as long as you meet your goals.

While true, driving in your private car for a private reason would still not be considered covered by for example workplace injury insurance, because that is not part of "mobile work", the private trip had nothing to do with work. The same way that if you slip and fall on your way to the next room to get a folder for work, you are covered, if you go to the next room to get a piece of paper for private reasons, you are not.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Sure, the employer's insurance would try to use this argument to get off the hook, but that does not mean that the employer themselves would not remain liable. If they were aware that OP was working from their car, and this is not even uncommon in their org, it could easily be construed as silent approval independently of what the contract says.

What I'm trying to say is, you are of course correct that not being at your designed place of work can get you reprimanded or fired, but since that does not seem to happen in OP's org, I doubt the company can then use this argument to claim that OP wasn't actually working.

@xLeitix If the employer has read the fineprint of their insurance, they will inform their emplyoyees in writing that working while driving is unaccaptable.
