Bud the Baker Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Sleeping driver jailed for A9 death crash http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-42166016 The driver deserves his sentence, no argument from me there, but what about his employer - there must be some degree of corporate responsibility. There are regulations for lorry drivers but if this guy was regularly driving 14 hours a day his employers must've known and been looking the other way.

Prosecution under health and safety legislation would've been an option. Crown office mibees didn't want to do so n case it affected the prosecution of the driver?

He had no "employer". The buck stops with him. He shouldn't have been driving those sorts of hours. End of story.
