Question: If you saw an example of poor driving from a company branded vehicle, would it put you off using their services?

July 22nd, 2010

vanThis morning I witnessed atrocious driving by a plumber in a branded vehicle and it made me think, would I ever use them if I needed a plumber? Can I trust them to follow building and safety regulations if they cannot even follow the rules of the road?

So my question to you is: would you use the services of a company if you’ve witnessed poor driving in one of their company branded vehicles?
