Wouldn’t have thought so. More along the lines of “one of those things”

Hope you got it sorted without too much hassle. Pete :laughing: :laughing:

I would have classed that as an incident to an accident, as there was no other vehicle involved.

Unless it waS intended it was an accident :slight_smile:

5

So they were your tracks then :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

You should know what happens this time of year up there someone though about snow so there is snow :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Its not an accident unless you’ve done some damage to your lorry, or hit someone or something.

If you’ve run onto a football or cricket pitch and done £20k’s worth of pitch damage by chewing it up then that might be a different case.

In this thread you say you want to have tomorrow off to attend a job interview but have been told you’ll be away all week.

Phone in sick, but don’t leave it to the last minute, [zb] a boss who wants to charge you £500 for being pulled off a grass verge that you couldn’t see because of the snow.

I would say nothing and the next day park his truck up in the most unrecoverable situation possible,and as far away as reasonably practible for my own purposes.

I would then(probably by now,the next day)say to said manager " Stick your job up your ar*e."

Don’t forget to gently place the truck keys down on his desk…
