of fuel saving, maintenance saving, company image saving.

I've been asked by a transport manager of a company how I knew it was one of their vehicles doing something stupid . . . "'cos your name is in foot high letters along the side . . ."

"oh . . ." :doh:

It does amaze me how drivers of such vehicles, don't realise that they are a rolling "Shop window" for their company. I have crossed off two or three contractors from my "file for later use" list because of their behaviour towards other road users.

One of the Youtube channels I follow is an ambulance service fast response driver, in one video he got blocked by a sign written van for that long it produced loads of negative comments, the company owner found out and sacked the van driver due to the bad publicity.
