European Coach accident
Discussion
With reference to the post about shortening hours, new rules will mean maximum time behind the wheel at any continuous period will be reduced at night (4 1/2hrs max previously) That's a long time driving and it's rare for anybody to do this. Might be more revisions on overnight travel; ie maximum travel time per crew/driver.

I find the OPs determination to ensure that the driver lost his job to be particularly weasel-like. You should take a long hard look at yourself.
WOW! For the record mate I did not sack the driver the company did, apparently his attitude to the event did not help him with the Boss, he had also damaged the rear of the coach earlier in the season!
There are many of these overnight companies driving young school children and students to Ski resorts, I think it is you who should sit back and think for a moment.
Weasel-like? Mate do you think it was right for the Driver to carry on to resort without stopping to report what had happened?
Do you think it was right that he did not stop at the next SOS phone or service station and inspect the damage under proper light?
I have tried to give an account of what happened.
I am trying to find out what the industry procedures are in such an event, nothing more?
Was I happy with the Driver....NO, did he deserve to loose his job? In my opinion YES, Not because of the Accident but because of his conduct before and after the event.
If you weren't trying to have the man sacked then I apologise. If you were then you are a little weasel and you need to sort yourself out.
We are not mates.
