Drug driving

Phoned the Police to make them aware a male will be leaving to go around sites inc mines tonight . He openly tells me he take drugs before coming out to help him- illegal drugs. Aware of first name and company.
Called back- cancelling the job. If I want to call if he arrives- he is I called to check with the mainline contact. The strange thing is he says he does some of their station's grounds!
I come off the phone thinking a simple call to the number I have- confirm the driver name and approx time arrival for xyz reason. But no- didn't seem that bothered. Left thinking why bother- drug driving can't be as serious as a drink or I am fairly confident digging would be done ready for him leaving his street to start his rounds.
Frustrating. Always get told ignore the Police-useless. Never trust them especially if working together at the event.

25 mins to appear when on-site when call made. Gone time arrived. Asked details that have been taking by the call handler eg Reggy. Explained phone this- it's his control. You will get where he is going- 34 jobs across the early hours. Wasn't interested. Told him to forget it- kills somebody. I will be speaking out as had he been drinking- a different story. Clear Police attitude still to overtake other members of the public on drug driving.
Called 4 hours later- still no trace of him.
Give up with them.0 -

You have to be on drugs to understand this thread.A man walked into a car showroom.
He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
The man replied, “You have now mate".7 -
So why not report him to the company he works for....Life in the slow lane2
