[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 93854, member: 484"] Tie, you are correct. Splitting hairs over two different issues, but yet we speak of them as one and the same. As far as being at fault, yes there is a slight possibility that had the driver looked into the rear view mirror, the guy might still be alive. But again maybe not. When you are turning across on coming traffic, your attention is and should be on the clear path you will be taking. And yes, I know that those million mile safe drivers expect the unexpected and avoid many incidents that most of us do not. I have heard all that before. Like I said, the only unavoidable accident you can have at UPS is for a plane to drop out of the sky and hit you from above. But is that really a fair assessment of the accident here. I think there should be a reasonable litmus test when charging a driver with an accident. And not that the driver did everything possible to avoid the accident. But rather that the driver showed that he did everything within the normal scope of delivery to avoid the accident. As far as the panel issue, yes there would be problems. But I think that most people, if given true anonymity, would vote on the proof given and not along party lines. That applies to management and hourly alike. And that is why I think this type of system would work. With all said and done Tie, you did not issue your opinion as to avoidable or un? d PS To the anon poster, you missed the T in your board name ;) [/QUOTE]
