[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 306716, member: 13254"] Oh come on now, do you people have reading disabilities? Granted all the info wasn't posted at one time, big deal. There is no reason to post the police report, the important facts were already posted. The police said the UPS driver was NOT AT FAULT. The witnesses said (per the police report) that the MC driver was speeding ( UPS investigators est. 64-80 mph) at an unsafe speed and WEAVING (<BIG WORD HERE) in and out of traffic. The oncoming traffic minus the MC could have well been at a safe distance for the PC driver to proceed through the intersection, while other vehicles could well have hidden the MC from view. UP$ safe driving methods teach us to look l-r-l and clear the intersection before proceeding, to do otherwise is a violation of the methods. The MC, speeding 65-80 mph, hidden behind other vehicles and weaving around vehicles that are at a safe distance is not much different than something falling from the sky. I don't see a case of violation of methods. If all the information, although sketchy, is correct the PC driver should not have ever been terminated to begin with. Given all this is true, I would not have accepted the combo offer either. I would have expected to win my case on the facts. It really does not sound to me this was decided on the facts, but an attempt by the company to cover their own backside. The statement was made by someone that the company offered the combo job because they didn't want to ruin this guy's life. I call BS on that. They offered that combo in an attempt to silence the driver and put this behind them with yet another backside covering. In a fair and just world the only time he would have lost was the time for the investigation. [/QUOTE]
