Driving Over Street Signs


One of the city’s Public Works employees is in trouble. A couple of days ago we received a call from a constituent who claimed that as a Public Works truck driver was driving out of a neighborhood, he drive into a street sign, stopped and looked around, then continued to drive on.  The person who called followed the driver, who then proceeded to 65mph in a residential area, right across the street from a park.  After the driver realized he was caught, he went back to the street sign and reported the accident.  If all this is true, that is extremely dangerous.  I mean 65mph in a neighborhood!  The guy who called wasn’t mad at me (thank God), he was just stunned at what happened.  So I e-mailed the Public Works department, and now HR is investigating the incident.  The PW employee did receive a Notice of Inquiry, which gives him an opportunity to tell his story.  I doubt he will be fired, but I wonder if he will be able to drive anymore.
