Driving Concerns
The majority of reviewers have expressed concerns about the driving habits of Ford Civil Engineers' staff. Several reviewers have reported near-miss experiences with the company's vans, citing reckless driving, tailgating, and disregard for other road users.
Specific Incidents
One reviewer, Keeley Ryalls, reported being almost taken out by a Ford Civil Engineering van that turned left at high speed with no regard for other drivers in the correct lane. Isobel Goddard had a similar experience, where she had to swerve into the next lane to avoid being side-swiped by a company van. Samantha Golden reported two separate incidents of Ford Engineering vehicles undertaking her in rush-hour traffic and pulling in immediately in front of her.
Repeated Offenses
The reviewers have expressed their concern that these incidents are not isolated and that the company is not addressing the issue. The repeated offenses suggest a lack of emphasis on road safety and a disregard for the well-being of other road users.
Additional Concerns
One reviewer, Paul, reported that Ford Civil Engineers' employees were not wearing face masks in a Co-op store in Wimborne, which is a breach of the law during a pandemic.
Lack of Regard for Safety
The reviewers have expressed their frustration and concern about the company's lack of regard for safety, both on the roads and in public spaces.
