  • Many sub contractors live on the mercy of the companies they supply. That forces them to show more goodwill than they want.

    I remember a couple years back when Ericsson unilaterally decided that they would stop paying their bills after a month and instead changed it to three months. So, do you want to piss off the biggest company in the region or do you just say “Thank you, sir”?

    As an aside, what kind of amoral sod goes around teaching companies what bills they can ignore and how morally bankrupt must you be to listen to them?





  • If most drivers are rolling through stop signs and you’re the only one stopping completely, while you might technically be in the right, your behaviour could lead to accidents due to the unpredictability.

    Simply no. If you as a driver aren’t prepared that the car in front of you might actually stop when there’s a sign that says stop, and if you aren’t keeping enough of a distance to be able to break, then it isn’t the car in front that is the problem, or who is the one causing the accident, it’s you and only you.

    The same applies to speeding. Driving significantly slower than the flow of traffic might slow down the traffic flow, leading to unsafe overtakings and such.

    Again no. If they are driving at the speed of the signage, keeping the speed and driving predictable, then the ones driving “significantly” faster are the ones decreasing road safety. No-one is forcing them to perform “unsafe overtakings and such”. Also, just because you, from your vantage point, can’t see a reason for the car in front of you driving slowly doesn’t mean that there isn’t one.

    While a dose of humility is good, a dose of personal responsibility is also great
