God I hate minority car accidents....Driver fired for unreported accident , apparently was in Parking lot and either tail whipped or backed into car , apparently nipping the car , very small damaged I think minority scrap or dent , driver swears he didn't know he did it , good fired or get his job back?
He needs to go in there and own it. There are very few accidents you can be in that you know nothing about. There are even fewer people who will believe him. He needs to go in there tell them sorry own it and take his lumps. Then when he comes back he need to upgrade his game.Driver fired for unreported accident , apparently was in Parking lot and either tail whipped or backed into car , apparently nipping the car , very small damaged I think minority scrap or dent , driver swears he didn't know he did it , good fired or get his job back?
Screwed for dishonesty . Report everything . We don't get paid for our decision making ability ,we get paid to work as directed. Always let management make that determination .Hypothetical , say he did stop and saw no damage and kept going thinking nothin of it and is honest about "showed by telematics " what then?
Some bad discharges smell.
They dont like that answer, when sometimes that is the only good one.Several years ago I pulled into a parking lot. Whipped the truck around to back into an open parking space so I wouldn't block anyone in. (Busy lot) Got the package and as I stepped out to go inside business a lady tells me I hit her car. I said no I didn't. She points to her bumped and says I DID hit it. There was an obvious mark on the corner of her bumper. I looked on the corner of my bumper and there was a scuff mark there. Put 2 and 2 together and I guess I really did hit the car. Never felt it. Didn't hear it. But the marks were there. I owned up to it and called a Sup. They came out and investigated it. Charged me with my first accident but I didn't get into any trouble. Don't even remember getting a warning letter. Sup asked me later that evening what I could have done different. I said I could have called in this morning.
Moral of the story, Own up to your mistakes and you'll be better off in the long run.
Yes, even if you 'think" it, call it in.Ok say the lady didn't see it or realize it until days later or reported it days later or they see it on video , you wouldn't have known therefor not reported it until too late,,,is reporting an accident days later before anything comes of it , to late?
That is definition of not reporting an accident. He would be fired for dishonesty. That is why if you do get in an accident of any type, report it!!!! You won't get fired. But you will if you try to hide it.Hypothetical , say he did stop and saw no damage and kept going thinking nothin of it and is honest about "showed by telematics " what then?
