    Piss test is pretty much standard after any kind of incident nowadays. I had a co-worker get sent in for one last week because he cut his thumb by accident.

    Excellent point! If I ever get injured on the job again I will just tell my employer "I meant to do that" ! ;)

    Thats pretty much how I am being treated, lol, after the Dr looked at the ankle he practically winked at me while stating "You will definately get light duty out of this", then almost dropped his mouth open when I told him I want to drive tonight!
    Not looking forward to dealing with Labor and Industries, best part of owning our old family business was putting money in the bank rather than sending it to them crooks!

    the sudden explosion should be of no real concern for an in-experienced driver. he will think of it as a minor blip....
