[QUOTE="scratch, post: 734502, member: 1674"] I started work fifteen minutes early Monday and had to take a couple of safety test online that were on Five Seeing Habits and Space and Visibilty. I also got to see my list of nine accidents over my career. I started driving in April, 1984, and had three the first year and two my second year. the other four were spread out over the rest of time, all of them minor and mostly backing accidents. Then I got the pleasure of stepping forward during the PCM and explain my horrible incident where I lost the battle between my mirror and the wet tree limb. Everybody's mouth dropped open when I stated that I was going to be charged with an accident over a three dollar piece of glass. Cries of "Thats BS!" rose up in the air, including one of the supervisors. My Shop Steward joined in and said something about [B]past pra[B]c[/B]tices[/B] where we have always just wrote up a mirror and got it replaced. Later in the day, the FT Supervisor assigned to safety, met me on area and rode with me for two hours. I was quizzed on Five Seeing Habits, Ten Point Commentary, how to pick up a package, blah, blah, blah. This morning, my Supervisor and my Shop Steward informed me that I would be expecting a Warning Letter that will go out in the mail for me today. So no big deal really. My original intent of this thread was to try to understand why in the world would something like this be allowed to be turned over to an insurance company and my Center be charged with a $1500 Tier One Accident. The ironic part is somebody hit my right view mirror of my personal truck when my wife parked it while shopping a couple of weeks ago. I was on vacation and wanted to fix it. I didn't call Allstate and get them to buy me a new one. I called one of my customers and was charged fifty bucks for a used one out of his auto salvage yard. He shipped it UPS and it arrived at my house broken. So I broke a three dollar mirror that belongs to UPS, and UPS broke a fifty dollar mirror that belongs to me. Nice. [/QUOTE]
