For safety sake this practice should be stopped. If the driver had a serious accident he cold end up doing a jail term for not being insured

All delivery revisions will be planned on the basis of no use of private cars. Private cars on
delivery will cease upon the deployment of a Delivery Methods revision in a unit.
Managers - Legally yes if they have the right insurance. But the Union should be discouraging it because if they are doing that it shows that they don't have enough resources.

'all for one and every man for himself' that sums up the postman using his car quite nicely.

I never said it was right, in fact as a driver I hate it. Having someone who's using his car ringing me for bag drops when I've just finished my meal relief really p****s me off, I just don't think they deserve the sack.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

I have a similar issue. In our office 6 of the rounds are in a little village nearby. The posties who are regulars on these rounds live in the village so they take there cars and go home afterwards. First question is this right? And when other posties do there round they take there car and them have to come back to the office using there own fuel etc. it has not affected me personally yet but just thought it is very odd. I am a new postie so might be wrong with my concern.
