[QUOTE="soberups, post: 949578, member: 14668"] They can "charge" you for anything they want. They can deem any accident "avoidable" whether there was anything you could have done to avoid it or not. They can spew out a meaningless "warning" letter for anything they want. They can issue or deny safe driving awards at their discretion. What they [B][I]cant[/I][/B] do....is successfully terminate your employment for the ticky-tacky crap. We work for a company that is not capable of rationally defining what an "accident" is. We work for a company that is not capable of making rational distinctions between accidents that are avoidable versus accidents that are [B]un[/B]avoidable. You will be charged...or not charged...solely at the personal whim of an individual who is totally unaccountable and who will evaluate your "accident" using 20/20 hindsight from behind a desk. This person almost certainly is required to generate a quota of warning letters per month in order to justify their job. They dont have to make decisions in real time and in the real world like we do, so their opinions mean nothing. This is why we as drivers need to mentally detach ourselves from any concern over receiving safe driving awards or recognition. Its more about luck than it is about actualy driving safely. [/QUOTE]
