[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1023188, member: 14668"] I broke a mirror last year and I was issued a warning letter. I'm OK with that, but it would be nice if the company could come up with some sort of a [I]rational and consistent [/I]definition of what actually constitutes an "accident". Ideally, there would be [I]four[/I] tiers instead of three in the accident classification system, with the "tier one" category being designated for "accidents" such as broken mirrors, scratches, broken tree limbs, tire marks on grass etc. that (a) involve total damage of less than $50 and (b) do [I]not[/I] involve intersections or contact of any kind with another moving vehicle. Such occurences are [I]fundamentally different in principle [/I]than intersection accidents or other legitimate traffic accidents. Yes I know we need to be alert and maintain the highest standards of professional driving, but it is intellectually defunct to mention a cracked mirror in the same sentence as running over a child. Some common sense on the part of the company would go a long way towards helping us as drivers to take the companys safety programs seriously. PS...I personally know 4 Circle of Honor drivers in my building who broke multiple mirrors throughout their driving career and were not charged with accidents. [/QUOTE]
