[QUOTE="EAT MY OVERALLOWED, post: 805511, member: 29598"] Fine with me. Judging from that scenario and the limited information we have on it, the driver doesn't seem to be at fault. If the company wants to reassess the accident and place blame on their employee they should be more than willing to accept the consequences that comes along with being guilty or being at fault. I don't think the action that I suggested would be evil in any way either, it's the right thing to do. If UPS as a company takes the viewpoint that their employee was the cause of a fatal accident but only behind closed doors will they admit that -- that is WRONG. Years ago I was involved in an accident very similar to this. I was out in some rural area I did not know at all, I left the truck on the road with the four ways on because as you know the first rule of backing is ....:::drumroll::....
