Default Re: Moral dilemma

as a previously banned driver (so i know the script) have a word with them and tell them to do the decent thing and stop cos theyve been caught if they do alls forgotton if not nail them to the wall, harse you may think but no cos if they have an accident they are a 1000 times more likely to try and do one than if they were legal which could mean an injured person becoming a dead person

IF the person is classed as a good friend then speak to them personally and remind them of the consequences if caught driving.

If you feel that you cannot approach the person and grassing up to the boss would cause ill feeling in the workplace then why not inform the local police. I am sure that you can do it anon/annono/.........i am sure you you dont have to give your details. Or even call crimestoppers.

This person shouldn't be driving and how would you feel if they were involved in an accident and someone was hurt but you didn't do anything about it.

This person has already been banned and is choosing to continue to drive so should be prepared to face the consequences.

That is all.
Do you have something against Disco balls?

Seriously, talk to the driver. "Stop it or else."

If they don't stop, well, they can't say they haven't been warned. Shop them FIRST to the company, then to the police. Ensure you tell the police that you've informed your boss.

If your boss fails to act & the driver is caught, well, your boss should really know better.

Somebody that worked for me did just that, Only I didnt find out about it till after his ban was up.

He said it was either drive or loose his job I told him he was being a tit and that we'd have found a way round his situation if he had told me about it ( I was his line manager at the time ) He needed to drive as he was a field engineer, but we could have swapped job roles around and he could have caught the train / bus to work easily enough, worked in the workshop all day and then caught the train home again.

He got a good talking to especially on terms of driving with no insurance etc in the company vehicle he had been using.

If it was me in that situation I'd want to know, give him the choice, he either comes clean himself about it, or you tell the boss for him.

Then you've warned him that you know, given him the opportunity to do something about it and then he cant moan if he doesnt and you do.
