Law Question

[Howie Feltersnatch]

I drive for work. My choices for comuting are my bike (40mpg) or my Ram (14mpg) So ofcourse I want to ride the bike when I can. Now my employer is dictaing that I can't ride the bike due to liability.

My question for any lawyer folks is can they state what I can and can't drive? I have full coverage on the bike so if anything were to happen it would be covered. The only variable is workman's comp. There was an incident where a girl in a very similar job got in an accident in her car resulting in a dislocated shoulder...workman's comp didn't cover it as it was her vehicle eventhough it was on company time.

So I say, if workman's comp isn't going to cover my injuries while i drive for work, why does it matter what vehicle i'm on?

If driving is part of your job I thinkyour employer does have some say in what vehicle you can drive, but they also have a responsibility to compensate you for mileage.

they compensate for my milage...but up until recently milage for bikes was less...now they're equal. I just want to make sure that they can tell me I can't ride my bike. Sometimes I work for a bunch of Ham 'n' eggers. You'd think a company with "Conservation" in it's title would be all for a motorcycle over an empty, un-utilized, truck running down the road.

what do i know
