[QUOTE="Pkgrunner, post: 771932, member: 7207"] I have been in a similar situation and; like you, deliver in a rural long driveway area with no shoulders, many blind curves and many roads that are paved up to and around the trees. Staying out of driveways is suicidal in many situations. Since you were charged with an accident, you will be getting a ride along. Is the warning letter for the accident or is it for parking on a driveway? If it is for parking on a driveway, I would request that the center manager give me the ride along so you can make it clear that you will no longer drive onto any resi driveways under any circumstance for the next 9 months for fear of further disciplinary action. That is, of course if your center manager is being unreasonable. I had a safety ride a while back with a rookie on-road who never drove a day in his short career. He insisted that I ALWAYS back first....So I demonstrated what happens when you go against the camber of the road...of course I stopped before the pkg car became totally high centered. I also demonstrated that by backing second in certain situations you can see both directions of the road while still staying off the road at a blind curve...where as by backing first you see only what is behind you while pulling into the oncoming lane blind...
