[QUOTE="soberups, post: 489411, member: 14668"] The bottom line is this; UPS can "charge" you with an accident for farting if they so choose. We do not have the contractual right to a safe driving award. UPS does not have and never has had a consistent, reasonable and rational definition of what even consitutes an "accident" in the first place. The fact that you have been "charged" with an "avoidable accident" does not mean that an accident actually occured or that you are an unsafe driver or that there is even any basis for disciplinary action. A driver on a rural route who (a) cracks a mirror one day and then (b) makes tire marks in a muddy driveway another day and then (c) breaks an overhanging limb off of a tree on a dark night very well be "charged" with 3 "unavoidable accidents" for those actions but in all likelihood any disciplinary action taken against him will not be upheld at panel. Unlike our supervisors, we as drivers actually have to go out there and work in the real world. [/QUOTE]
