    Justice!

    Got very aggressively undertaken by a Fedex driver the other day on the M62. He was driving right up peoples bumpers flashing them out the way in lane 3. Even cut up an ambulance trying to join. Basically driving with extreme aggression causing cars to move dangerously to get out of his way.

    I phones the handy number on the back of his van, spoke with the nice lady who answered giving his reg.

    Well, ended up with a phone call from somebody senior at Fedex this morning thanking me very much, advising from the reg and timings they found the driver, who was being appropriately dealt with by management.

    Hopefully one less idiot on the roads

          Do you think a FedEx employee who drives like a loon in order to squeeze more drops into his day is likely to get reprimanded by management?

          I usually deal with knobs like that by letting them get right up close and then switching the rear fog lights on.
          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              Probably not.

              Thing is though, unless he's a very skilled driver, driving like a loon is unlikely to enable him to squeeze more drops in. You can try it on a regular commute. Drive like a loon for a couple of weeks. Then drive defensively for a couple of weeks (if you survive the first two weeks). The timings will be pretty much the same - maybe you gain a few minutes over 50 miles, if you're lucky.

              Even driving 500 miles a day, it's not going to save enough for an extra drop.

                WHS. My brother works at the head office of a large haulage co. and they're told to *always* use the handrail on the stairs... if you're spotted by one of the H&S nutjobs and you're not holding the handrail they'll give you a rollocking there and then.... pathetic

                    You do realise that doing this if it caused an accident would constitute driving without due care on your part.
