[QUOTE="soberups, post: 508648, member: 14668"] The company is free to consider it an "accident" when you fart, if it so chooses. The company is also free to grant or withold Safe Driving awards as it sees fit. There is no contractual obligation on the part of the company to recognize safe driving or issue awards of any kind. Hitting a dog may or may not be considered an "accident" depending upon the personal whims of whoever makes those decisions, but in terms of what [I]really[/I] matters....the drivers job....the company will not succeed in terminating an employee for hitting an animal on a public road. Disciplinary action for such an incident would not be upheld at panel. Our number one priority needs to be to maintain control of the vehicle and keep it on the road and in our lane. If a loose animal gets hit in the process that is unfortunate, but it is a far better outcome than wrapping the package car around a tree or swerving into the other lane of traffic and hitting a car head on.
