[QUOTE="soberups, post: 552716, member: 14668"] Ok, on the one hand, double-parking is technically illegal and at least potentially unsafe. On the other hand, in certain crowded metro areas it is probably the only conceivable way to deliver anything. The [I]problem[/I] here is that the company wants it both ways. They [I]want[/I] the driver to double park in order to get the work done, yet they will turn around and suspend or fire that same driver...citing the 10 pt commentary and other safety drivel.... if he does what they want him to do and it winds up causing an accident. The driver is basically screwed no matter what he does. It is hypocritical and blatantly unfair. The [I]solution[/I] to this problem is simple; the company should enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the local union in areas where double-parking is an "established practice", with the agreement that a driver CAN be instructed to double park and will therefore NOT be charged with an accident or required to pay any ticket that results from said double parking. In the case of the driver getting fired and walking away in his skivvies, such an arrangement would have prevented the incident from ever occuring in the first place. [/QUOTE]
