Hit a cable line today in a private neighborhood

True and the op wont give us any details either.If somebody calls him in who do you suppose the company will believe?

 

I didn't read all the replies because there are way too many.

I did that same thing about 1.5 years ago - but I reported it.

I checked the requirements for the area and it was strung too low, but it didn't matter and I was hit with a preventable accident by my company.

But I would rather slide by with a preventable for a couple years than not report it and have someone else do it for me. That would be much bigger offense - and one that might get me fired.

Failure to report an accident can get you hosed from this industry real quick.
Just not worth it, in my opinion.

And you won't know in a day, or possibly even a week or more. It takes time for someone to report it, send video if available, the company to start an investigation etc..

 

See, another reason to get satellite.

 

I don't know how anyone can even answer his question without knowing who he drives for? Unless it's been said and I missed it. Different companies handle stuff like this in different ways.

 

For pulling down the wire, I agree with you.
He very likely can still get in trouble, both by law and by company policy, for the hit and run.

 

Probably someone letting there neighbor use there cable for free. I know my uncle ran a wire from his neighbors across the street for many years in Clear Lake Ca.

 

Don't snitch on yourself.

 

We wasn't there so we don't know exactly what happened, just speculation.But I do know its the drivers responsibility watch out for low objects.
