How comfortable do you feel with your technicians driving around in your company vehicles? Make sure you do a check on their driving record before hiring. The following are actual statements found on insurance forms where car drivers attempted to summarize the details of an accident in a few words:
Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.
The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intentions.
I thought my windows were down but I found out it was up when I put my head through it.
I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.
A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face.
A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.
In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.

I had been driving for 40 years when I feel asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.

An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.

I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentlemen as he bounced off the hood of my car.

I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.
