Mid-week Rant

[Niall]

I think you've kinda missed my point though, the company he works for is probably the reason he's driving like a cock to meet his deadlines. I have a mate that works for a courier....he loses pay if he doesn't make deliveries on time so speeds to make sure hes on time....it only takes one slow old person to make his average speed drop dramatically...which he then has to make up. He had no points before this job....now has 9 all for speeding in the works van!

So really I suppose I'm saying there's two sides to this.....if you were late/stressed anddid something stupid on your way to work because of it the last thing you'd want is an earful off your boss, or worse.

Sam the reason I wouldn't report is one because I can't be arsed, shit happens, get over it. And two because I like to treat people how I'd want to be treated, that may sound a bit daft and immature but it works for me, and if it was the other way and I was driving like a cock I'd hthen I'd want the van driver to let it slide....

Tom that's no excuse mate. If the cops pulled me and said you were speeding, I can't just say "oh it's ok, I'm late for my next site". They will still give me points. If he gets a bolocking from work for being late to jobs, he needs to leave earlier, or raise the issue with his bosses.
