[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 706300, member: 26800"] Avoidable Accident? Unless UPS is the master of the the time, space continuim, this is a complete impossibilty and just yet another area where the coporate executives of UPS lack integrity. It is completely impossible to avoid an event that has already happened. An accident by definition is an unexpected, undesirable event. I challenge anyone to go out and avoid an event that has already happened. The real issue here is fault. Every accident should have a police report and the police investigation should assign the fault based upon this investigation. It is that simple. The driveway issue is very simple. I don't know the specific facts but generally speaking if you drive into a parked vehicle the police will probably assign fault to the person in the driven car. Even if the car is parked illegally the driver of the driven car may get part of the fault because there is probably an assumption that you should not be crashing into stationary objects, at least I hope there is. The point of pulling into the driveway is a seperate issue. If the driver has been directed to not pull into this driveway specifically then it is a failure to "work as directed" issue. This still does not make the driver at fault with regards to the accident. The police report should always assign the fault. If the driver has never been instructed to not pull into this driveway specifically then the driver's discrection should be respected. He or she may have felt this was the safest place to park. Either way it doesn't make the driver at fault in this accident. The fact that corporate executives at UPS think that UPS knows more than a properly done police investigation when assigning fault doesn't surprise me at all.
