Truck forces way through parked cars - GIF

[bob_3000]

Not only was the car not parallel but it was on the wrong side of the street! The street is one-sided parking (on the opposite side) with cars orientated in both directions. No way for the truck to turn around. Backing up . . . impossible (with traffic probably stacked up behind him)! The truck also damaged the red car on the right side.

Or . . .

The driver returns and loses a half day's pay. The company owner loses contents, pays disposal fees, pays labor for nothing, loses fuel and mileage, and deals with a angry customer for a missed delivery. Also, probably damages from the customer who had to cancel and pay his contractors due to loss of delivery. All because of one uncaring individual.

or...

"hey dispatch I'm stuck on Elm Street, send another truck and relay to the customer there's an issue on Elm Street".

It may be correct that 2 wrongs don't make a right. But we do not know WHERE that occurred, and what their standards are. There are many places where that car driver would be found at fault. We cannot always use our point of view to pass judgement on other societies. We cannot even do that between different schools of thought in our own country (USA here).

I have spent a lot of time in the Caribbean, not in resorts, but in the real countryside doing mission work. They look at things some thing totally different. One night late, dark road, no street lights, etc. One of our workers was coming back from visiting a family, delivering some food. On the way back he hit a cow that had wondered out onto the road. Severely injured the cow, it had to be killed, damaged the pick-up truck, etc. The man who owned the cow was actually fined for allowing his cow to be in the road at night. His family lost their only cow and was ordered to pay for damages to our truck. Which would have been impossible as they already had nothing but the cow. He would have been sent to jail to "pay off the debt".

We did not allow that to happen. When it went to court, we told the judge that the truck had already been damaged and that he did not owe us anything for repairs. We also paid his $50 fine and got them another cow.

We knew that our driver had a tendency to drive too fast...

Sometimes the faceboogers who think they can park anywhere get their just desserts.




There's always a bunch of retards who whine about how the firemen should have run the hose around/under the car. This article...
