Just seen this on BBC news website, glad I don’t have to explain that to my insurance
JLR have just temporarily halted Ejoke production as they can't get rid of them fast enough, so every little helps.Looks like an Ejoke to me so well done driver
Seems harsh. Accidents do happen, especially when drivers are now expected to go where the company installed software tells them.Comes under the heading of gross negligence in the eyes of his/her employer I would imagine. Could lead to a charge of driving without due care as well.
Thank God they weren't Classics
Seems to be a nationwide effort:JLR have just temporarily halted Ejoke production as they can't get rid of them fast enough, so every little helps.
SavageSadly, no Ejokes were hurt in this accident - must try harder.....
That's not savage, that's mild. I'm waiting for him to find today's interloper thread . Now that should be savage View attachment 161483

My dad gave a couple of wagons the windswept look. However, his boss was quite understanding and suggested after the second one,that from there on in, he took leave around the date of the anniversary of my mum's death. Seemed to do the trick.
That's very considerate of your Dad's employer, nevertheless the responsibility lies with the driver at the end of the day. Bus operators I've worked for don't take such a ambivalent view, take a 'decker under a low bridge & you're looking for another job.
Quite right lack of continuity but as for option 3 makes my p*** boil, if it was up to me they wouldn’t have ever pushed more than a wheel barrow around.I think it was more compassionate , than ambivalent.
Then again, I think, even now a lot depends on what the company values the employee at. You mention bus operators and I know a few Stagecoach employees. One of whom gave a double decker the open top look, still employed by Stagecoach, another, same trick, no longer employed by Stagecoach.
Although the one I don't understand, Stagecoach driver, again whom I know personally , tcaught drink driving their own car, lost their licence. The result, Stagecoach continued to employ them, as a shunter around the yard, until licence returned, and is now , as previously, driving the public around and kids to and from school.
So , it seems that some are more equal than others.
I agree. I was a mix of gobsmacked and furious, when I found out that they were being kept on. It's bad enough driving a car drunk. However, knowingly giving a convicted drink driver , the control of a bus, is beyond me.Quite right lack of continuity but as for option 3 makes my p*** boil, if it was up to me they wouldn’t have ever pushed more than a wheel barrow around.
If you’re gonna drinky the drink then no drivy the car Simples
