Yes but how many people did the driver endanger. What if your child was on that bus???
That was my first thought. I mentioned it here first as I was waffling what to do. At the end of the day though I was in my company truck, and the video is on their dash cam. (Also on their computer, as soon as I got home.)Yes but how many people did the driver endanger. What if your child was on that bus???
I gather from this that your company / truck info is also on the video, so you have concerns about professional repercussions for reporting it? Or, what's keeping you from reporting it regardless of the video source?That was my first thought. I mentioned it here first as I was waffling what to do.

I sent an email to my boss and the department head, with two pictures attached. I am meeting with them tomorrow on an altogether different matter, and will have the original with me. It's up to them to decide if it should be reported or not.
All of the comments above are spot on, however. If I'd been in my truck I would have reported him before mentioning it here. I probably would also have gotten up close enough to get the plate number, although the video should give them enough information to go on.
If it came down to an inquiry I would have to identify where the video came from.I gather from this that your company / truck info is also on the video, so you have concerns about professional repercussions for reporting it? Or, what's keeping you from reporting it regardless of the video source?
This has been posted before, so I've had time to think about it. Everybody assumes that he's launching the boat yet that's incorrect. Rather, he is washing his engine compartment and interior.
As long as they keep going, they don't have to worry about the flames messing up the tow vehicle

You should and give them the video. They haul children so they need to be safe.Not towing wrong, but today my dashcam recorded a school bus blowing through a red light so stale that it was green from my direction before he even entered the intersection. I'm not going to post it as I am still debating if I should report the driver.
Understandable.Potentially, it is due to the fact that it isn't his video (ownership/authority) and his company may have policies controlling information/data owned by the company from being shared to 3rd parties, regardless of the reason/intent or what that data is. He's doing things properly. Folks shouldn't let emotions guide their judgement and jstpssng is doing well in that regard.
