Driver runs over dog in driveway - Leaves note

[over9five]

Circle of honor patch is a joke... If I get that someday I would have my wife take off the patches... I don't feel like walking around with patches on my uniform being a wantabe hot shot.....

Lol, says every driver who knows he won't get it anyhow!

Whether you get charged for something is a crapshoot. I got charged for bogus reasons but I also had times I should have been charged but center manager said its OK. After a while you quit worrying about it. Especially after the good safety awards went away.

Maybe true, but I think there's more drivers who don't get Circle of Honor because they suck at driving. You hit things, you don't get it. Then they get all incensed, and if they DO ever get Circle of Honor, man, the first thing they'll do is tear those damn patches off because it's all a sham yada yada yada...
That's an insult to those of us who DO drive safely, every day for 25 years and more.

It is still WAY easier for a feeder driver than a package driver fighting city traffic.

Mother says UPS driver left note after backing over family dog

I soooo hope the driver left a delivery note hooked over the dogs fang!

a suicide note from the dog?

The difference here is whether the dog was hit on a public road or in their private driveway. Public road they are fair game. Private driveway it is our fault, whether it was our fault or not.

It was out on the road. The main reason I wasn't the least bit concerned.

Did his Circle of Honor patch have an asterisk?

You can barely see it anyway...

Damn shame. The Circle of Honor used to be a great gig in my district. Banquet meal, open bar, live music
all night, free room overnight and full breakfast in the morning. It was really something guys wanted to achieve.
Now it's all gone. Big mistake.

I swear I had an old dog commit suicide once. He just laid in the driveway and never moved I guess. They had a second dog that was chasing after the truck and I was making sure I didn't hit it. Never saw the one laying in the road.

I'm saying no reason to deal with the homeowner unless they witnessed it.

But I also wouldn't give it a second thought. Control your dogs and they won't get run over.

Was the dog that "just laid in the driveway" out of control?
Good thing it wasn't a kid laying there, playing with that out of control animal.

I don't think he would have cared.

 

[Wally]

Who would care about some stupid goat?

Was it tied up or inside? No then they didn't have control of it.


I'd pay a little more attention if children were outside. But kids don't tend to run after vehicles and bite at the tires. Running over a dog or cat? Frankly I couldn't care less. Not gonna bat an eye about it.

Good thing it wasn't Chauncey underneath those Package Car wheels.

 

[Brownslave688]

Too bad it wasn't Chauncey underneath those Package Car wheels.
