Yesterday after running the length of the country, about 500miles, I had ran out of screenwash. Asked the office for a couple of litres to get me preferably to the yard or at least a services.Almost didn’t get the nod.
Office were not for it at first but understood it was a one off. But had a driver come up to me in the yard when I went to fill up telling me I couldn’t touch it and then run away to grass to the office. I actually pointed to the window which was covered in dirt but according to him it was still ‘against company policy’ or whatever pointy shoe reason he came up with as he made a B line for the office door. Little did he know I had asked in advance
So much for helping the fellow driver
That’s unbelievable so we are now in an era where drivers have to ask for screen wash
Especially as an empty screen wash bottle is illegal…certainly an MoT fail, and possible a roadside prohibition too?
And potentially far more serious…
A girl I knew of many years ago went to jail because of this. Knocked an old lady over on a zebra crossing, and killed her while driving a company pool car…
Told the nice policeman “I didn’t see her, the sun was shining and my windscreen was dirty.”
Policeman said: “Did you try to clean the screen?”
She said: “Yes, but the washer wasn’t working, and it’s not my job to fix it.”
Oh dear. Escalated the charge to ‘causing death by dangerous driving’ with that last answer. Go to jail, go directly to jail do not pass Go etc.
