Scared of my Bosses driving...how to say no?
Comments
-
Thanks everyone for your replies...
I am an experienced driver, and have done many motorway miles in the past. So I was all too aware of the dangers. Don't have a need to use them these days, as I have a short local commute.
I wouldn't be able to make my own way to these things for a number of reasons.
Firm wouldn't pay 2 lots of expenses for the same journey (fuel/parking), when a company vehicle is also making the trip.
The car I choose to drive now, is great for my needs, but is not suitable to long Motorway journeys, as driving is not a role of my job. I checked my insurance last night, and I'm not even covered for it either.
@ReadingTim - I can assure you that even with my eyes closed (after witnessing the first part of the journey) I can tell that hard acceleration, braking, and lane changing is being done without the need to look. Motorways are all about doing things smoothly, no sudden movements (unless in an emergency), which helps keep everything flowing.
You sound like the kind of person who would take really kindly to an employee telling you that your driving is not up to scratch, and to be told to slow down, and back off.
Thanks again everyone...I think next time i'll try and get out of going in the first place. and if I do have to, I shall be more vocal on the journey, and be a complete PITA "back seat" driver, and see how that goes!!0 -
Some company vehicles have systems installed to monitor how they are being driven - these monitor behaviours like harsh braking and aggressive acceleration...
Is it a company car (which may have such a system installed) or is their own private vehicle?0
