In the UK oil industry it is generally accepted that anyone can stop a job if they see something happening which is unsafe.I was always taught that Safety is everybody's responsibility.
If you had stopped and backed up to remove the tire you would have got a ticket by the provincial police.The wheel was about 5m from the city/provincial boundary.
I would avoid giving advice to someone who might use it to do harm.Whats your take on that.?
I did my duty and reported the problem to the authorities. I also explained the danger it was at night.If you had stopped and backed up to remove the tire you would have got a ticket by the provincial police.
The city police just might have gone 5m out of the way to collect $50 for 'unsafe driving'.
The world can not be made a safe place. We all have a small responsibility.
In my mind you did the right thing.I did my duty and reported the problem to the authorities.
Yes, but how many people would be brave enough to actually halt a job, knowing that it would cost millions of dollars and loss of friendships/job/sanity?In the UK oil industry it is generally accepted that anyone can stop a job if they see something happening which is unsafe.
When I hit the tire and damaged my car I had bad thoughts about the trucker, the police (RCMP) and you.I did my duty and reported the problem to the authorities. I also explained the danger it was at night.
But the wheel was still on the highway off ramp THE NEXT DAY!

I agree completely with your position with a few clear exceptions. When giving advice, individuals should be left to exercise their own judgment.
On the above, we try to deal with 'racist, porno and illegal' before it gets onto the forums, the other 'harmful and dangerous' quite often do not show as such until a number of posts have been made to the Forums. If a thread develops into this type, the moderators take the appropriate action.Anything that is clearly harmful, dangerous, racist, pornographic, or illegal. Thus, how to bypass security measures on copyrighted work is one example.
