[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 197150, member: 4653"] When I was in driver training school, the safety sup. defined an accident as "A collision between a UPS vehicle and another object that causes damage to the UPS vehicle or other object" From what you described, I don't think you vehicle caused any damage. I mean, lets think about this. The fix was to fill a hole with dirt. Is this really damage? It also depends on how manicured their yard was. If you put a whole in a lawn that was just sodded the day before, than I would call that an accident. But if you put a tire mark in a front yard that is nothing but dirt and sticks and dead leaves, and the homeowner puts zero care into his yard, I would call this a non-accident and not even report it. Anyway, good luck, and this should teach you a lesson: STAY OUT OF RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAYS. Nothing good can come of it. Take the time and walk the package off. Whats more important, you saving 95 seconds by backing up a driveway, or spending the end of your day on the phone with Liberty Mutual for 30 minutes? The only time I go into driveways is if I need to turn around or the house is 1/8 of a mile away and I KNOW there is a large area to turn around in at the end. Otherwise I just leave it at the mailbox.:lol: :lol: Just kidding we beat this horse to death in a series of posts last year:thumbup1: [/QUOTE]
