Tier 4 Car Share Restrictions

[nailit]

Apparently, my home town (Stoke on Trent?) is now in tier 4
and car share restrictions are in place.
If, this is the case,
Then can anyone explain the logic?
Tomorrow I have a lift into work from someone who will be spending the day on a van with me.

Am I safer (or is anyone else safer) if I get the bus alongside a dozen or so others??

[nailit]

OK, I'll try again...
I can see the point of NOT car sharing if it was with someone who worked in a different department in the workplace.
But the point I was making is that its senseless to say that I cant vehicle share a lift to work with someone with whom I'm going to be sharing a vehicle whilst AT work.

Which is safer re covid...
1) Limit the amount of people with whom I come into contact with by avoiding public transport and commuting with a guy that Im spending the day with anyway?

2) Wait on a crowded bus station to catch a bus with complete strangers?

There will be no crowded buses.

//There will be no crowded buses//
Didnt say crowded buses, I said crowded bus station.

[anneasquith]

Social distance yourself.

Care to answer my question @ 14;50?

This reminds me of someone who argued that because he worked all day with he's workmates in tier 3 he should allso be able to go to the pub with the same peopel at night so pub's should of been left open in tier for men/women like him.
I'll try again. Just sort this out with your employer and workmate. If all are happy then continue. No-one will stop you. If not then find another way to get to work and try to keep a safe as possible getting there

[anneasquith]

Yes. As an intelligent adult surely you can make the decision best for you .

[nailit]

bob, we're all happy with the arraingment.
Dont really see a parallel with going to the pub with workmates tbh.
Im trying to LIMIT the amount of people that I come into contact with, not increase it by going socialising.

[MartinMillar]

The rules cannot take into consideration every individual circumstances.
Be an adult weigh up the pro and cons and make a decision.
And stop whinging.

[bobbinwales]

Yes but your saying because you work with him all day you should allso be able to do other things with him.
The only bit a can see where your coming from is that a think your saying people should be able to make there own decisions about risks to themselves. In reality thats happening - no-one is going to arrest you if everyones happy with your arrangment.

"Why not cycle to work?"

They could invest in a tandem...

[MartinMillar]

Would give him something else to complain about, the size of cycle lanes, cars using cycle lanes, his friend not cycling hard enough

[anneasquith]

Second, ? So fast time goes .
Stay safe on that tandem, safety hats compulsory :-)
