Ice Road Truckers

It's got fuck-all to do with how dangerous the road is. It's about ignoring basic safety instructions.

In this country, from the HSE......

Quote:Managing the risks to employees who drive at work requires more than just compliance with road traffic legislation.

The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 requires employers to take appropriate steps to ensure the health and safety of their employees and others who may be affected by their activities when at work. This includes the time when they are driving, or riding at work, whether this is in a company or hired vehicle, or in the employees own vehicle.

There will always be risks associated with driving. Although these cannot be completely controlled an employer has a responsibility to take all reasonable steps to manage these risks down to as low a level as reasonably possible in the same way as they would in the workplace.

Anyway, haven't had time to watch last nights episode yet but I expect the producers have persuaded them to give Dave a another chance, because he makes good tv

Pretty sure it will have.

You still haven't said which 'specific basic' safely instructions Dave has ignored.

Are you refering to when he shot of and left the convoy?

OOOOOOOO look post post edit.

Asking a simple, perfectly reasonable question is not trolling.

Nothing I have put on here can remotely be taken has trolling and i have most certainly have never personally insulted any one on here, including you. In fact, i have tried to be quite jocular and informative and posted pictures of Liza. YOUR the one with the problem here my friend, not me.

Remember, you started the finger wagging at us when Kelly and i went slightly off topic, you was the one stomping around leaving negative feedback when I wasn't even aware you existed, you are the one that went on the attack of me for no reason whatsoever that I can see, you are the one that started personally insulting people - if that's not trolling what is?

And remember, this is not your thread, it is open to anyone who has an interest in the the program and if you make a statment in this thread ANYBODY can ask or challange you on said statement and that includes me.

Now stop sulking like a 2 year old grow up and play nicely.

A couple of so-so episodes, but it looks like next week is when Dave finally gets the boot, so that's gotta be worth a watch

Only 2 episodes left, it wouldn't surprise me if they kept us hanging till the last one

Even Phil, who never seems to have a bad word to say about anyone, was choosing........his.......words........veeeeery.......carefully

I think it's gotten way too boring now... not even sure i'm gonna bother watching this friday at all............ ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

If you think that, wait till seaosn 6.

Well, Dave pretty much sacked himself in the end
I don't think he really left the boss anywhere else to go after that performance in the office

Admittedly Tony's probably not easy to work with, if you get off on the wrong foot, but if you can't get along with Phil you need to have a look in the mirror.
