Employee with no licence drives to work..

[john_p]

Found out today that one of my employees has been borrowing his mum's car to drive to work .. he has no licence, insurance, permission etc

He's parking it around the corner then walking in. A couple of employees have seen him do it. When questioned he denies it :rolleyes:

It's not really my problem I guess .. he's not driving whilst at work. But uninsured driving is a pet hate of mine. What should I do.....

[Tank Slapper]

Tell him to stop or you will shop him.

There are enough idiots making my insurance needlessly more expensive already.

[DennisTheMenace]

Hello , Police ?

[minimax]

just shop him. if you threaten him with shoppage and no stoppage occurs it will sour relations at work somewhat when the inevitable befalls...plus if he does stop driving to work who's to say he won't still drive other places? so just shop him

[Muncher]

I'd shop him right away, he clearly doesn't need the car for work anyway so it is no loss to you.

I once had reason to visit my local nick to'sort' something out. I had to chat to a Detective Sergeant who was dealing with the case. I must admit to saying to the one of the coppers, that I wasn't sure if if I was entirely happy becoming that involved in things, to which he replied.....'had you have said nothing, people could have accused you of condoning such behaviour....' and went on to say that I had done the right thing.

[simpo two]

You're right, it's not technically your business. It's hardly wihtin yur power to ask to see his licence.

How you fix it surreptitiously, though, I'm not sure.

Why not offer him a job that involves driving - then you can ask for sure.

[blaineuk]

if he run into your car/wife/kids what would you do then.

I don't usually agree with shopping people, no matter what my feelings are, but............... people like this are the reason our premiums go up year upon year, plus what the quote above states. I would ring anonymously to give plod a tip off. If he kills someone, their family not only loses a loved one, but they have to pay too!

[tinman0]

so thats 9 in favour of shopping him, including me, and 1 abstention.

motion is passed.

I'd suggest removing the keys from his possession, and calling his mother in to your place of work to collect them.

She won't like that.

[monkeyhanger]

Interesting.

So he's willing to take his mum's car without her permission. How long before he takes something from work without your permission?

Clearly a scrote and a part of the reason our premiums go up even when we keep our noses clean.

Shop him, then get rid and get someone who deserves the job.

Without bein too melodramatic:

Just imagine having to explain to a dead child's parents why you knew something, but did nothing about it.

You could well end up in that position.

[MilnerR]

I'd shop him. If you tell him you know he'll deny it and start parking somewhere else. Give the police the relevant information and let nature take its course.

The other issue is do you want someone as shit all stupid as that working for you?

Sorry guys ......

No touchie feelie stuff round here.

Shop him. End of story.

K

P.S. on a slightly humerous note ..... try to get the keys when he's in the loo or a meeting or something and go move the car and park it somewhere else.

[The Boy Lard]

Makes me cross this one...

Shop him

Direct Line said that they add between £30 & £50 to annual premiums to cover claims from blokes like him

[neil.b]

It's not big, it's not clever and he really needs a punch in the throat.

Failing that, shop him.

Actually, do both.

As much as you think its "Not your problem", it is, you know he is in the wrong, its your moral duty to do something about it.

Not knocking you personally, but one of the biggest problems in this country right now is "Its not my problem" attitude. Example, "Well I knew he hung around kids and brought them sweets, but I didnt know he was a pedo", story made up of course, but that sort of thing does go on.

What if he runs down and kills your wife, no good telling your kids, "I knew, but it wasnt my problem".....

I would urge you to inform the relevant authorities.

[speedy_thrills]

Not sure I would want to employ/work with some one who breaks the law this seriously and lies about it so freely.

At the very least do all you fellow PHers a favor and report him to the authorities. Good luck!

[Vipers]

john_p,

One last comment, you did mention he had no insurance, well if you are unfortunate enough to be knocked down by him, you'l have the satisfaction of lying in hospital knowing you cant claim off his insurance, coz he aint got none? but dont worry, it isnt your problem.

Now isnt that a good reason to shop him. God forbid it ever happens, but you cant be too sure these days.

Do the right thing john, may save someone some grief.
