[QUOTE="soberups, post: 747978, member: 14668"] To an extent, I agree. As drivers we must be held to a higher standard and we must continually strive to avoid accidents. The problem is this. As a management person with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight and from behind the safety and comfort of a desk, you will [I]always[/I] be able to second-guess any action that I did or do not take and you will [I]always[/I] be able to fabricate a reason why a particular accident may have been theoretically "avoidable" on my part. You speak of the "credibility" of the process. The process has[B] no[/B] credibility when we "charge" a driver with an "avoidable" accident for hitting a dog running loose on a public road. The process has[B] no[/B] credibility when we "charge" a driver with an "avoidable" accident when he is legally parked and away from the vehicle and another motorist hits the package car. The process has [B]no[/B] credibility when we "charge" a driver with an "avoidable" accident for scratching a package car in the AM when the decision has been made to park the cars so close as to be touching one another due to building overcrowding. You have [I]every right[/I] to place high expectations upon us. But you do [B]not[/B] have the right to expect us to take those expectations seriously when they are ridiculous, arbitrary, and totally divorced from reality. The [I]reality [/I]of the current system....is that those who are charged with determining the "avoidabliity" of a given accident are often less concerned with finding the truth and more concerned with simply generating paperwork in order to justify and perpetuate their own jobs.
