,when I went into one of our drops the previous driver on the bay come over to tell me I’d been reported by some silly cow( customer ) for having NO lights ,this was then confirmed by lad who was to tip me.
My first reaction was she was on about I had no lights on,but,it was 11 a.m,bright sunny day so that ruled that out,so then manager came out to look ,said he’d had reports I was driving round with no lights ,I then showed him all my lights were present and working( he checked as I tried them) ,he looked at my check sheet and was as mystified as me,as all worked fine,left it at that,nothing more he could say as all present and correct.
I thought after I may of cut her up,slowed her up on way into supermarket,but you’d think her complaint would be that,why the silly cow said I had no lights when I obviously did is beyond me.
Next time you go there cover your truck in those flashing orange lights and the loudest reversing beeper you can find. That’ll cheer her up I promise you.
That’s the problem with British folk (assuming this happened in the UK) they are grasses, #fact! I come to work everyday knowing it could be my last in case I get grassed up for any little thing & my boss will always believe them over me so I never argue, have my bag packed…
Standard response " I have no knowledge of said event".
They can not touch you for something they can not prove.
Indicators? Some people are just pure bloody minded.

Similar thing happened to me a couple of years ago, some ■■■■■■ cut me up, and further up the road where the lights turned to red we had a difference of opinion about it, and I thought that was the end of it. About 5 miles up the road I got pulled by the law (full blues and twos ) and was told that I had been reported to have been seen drinking from a whisky bottle while driving , luckily I had remembered the guy’s reg as it was a memorable private one, just hoped that the ■■■■ got done for wasting Police time.
And apart from that it was vodka anyway, not whisky

Pimms is my tipple at the mo, pinky up
Here was me thinking it was going to be a can of shandy
They will try anything to get you in the ■■■■. I had some woman ring my depo and report me for a hit and run the other week, claimed i scratched the side of her car yet when my manager suggested contacting the insurace she backed down. 1 if i had knowingly hit it i would have stopped, yes it was bloody tight but that was due to her complete lack of reversing ability and spaceial awareness and 2 there was a van behind her so if i did hit it why didnt she use him as a witness. What i think her problem was that she could obviously lip read and understood all the names under the sun i called her at the time needless to say no further action was taken

Eh??
i was once reported (by another driver in same company ) for driving about with no brake lights working, got back to the yard and the boss came out to check them, they were all working. Another driver comfirmed that I always do my checks, and where I parked my motor at the time I can use the building to check if brake lights are working.
I eventually found out where the other driver said I was when he seen me… turns out I’m one of the few drivers who uses an exhaust brake and retarder
