Company investigation

What you worried about? An “investigation” isn’t a cavity search at the police station, it’s just a boss who’s going to say he’s taken the report seriously, he’s sat down with the driver they’ve accused, recorded your answers to a series of questions put (the answers to which they already know informally), and the conclusion of it is that your story is corroborated by other evidence and you weren’t the driver involved, and then as far as the organisation is concerned that line of enquiry is permanently done and dusted and there’s a written record of steps taken and evidence gathered and so on.

When your boss says he knows who the actual driver was, it might merely be a suspicion which that other driver denies, and their actual records might not be in sufficiently good order to prove the contrary, so they’ll want to be careful and ensure that they rule you out (not least if they try to take action against the other driver they suspect, and that driver kicks up a fuss and asks them why they’re targeting him, and asks how they know it wasn’t you or anyone else, etc.).

Woooosh
