You said that the driver was sent home because he was not feeling well. He was not at 100%. In that case he may not be as quick to make good judgements which seems to be the issue you have with him. You used your judgement to let him drive.

I don't know about every part of the country, but in my area we are not attracting the sharpest knives in the drawer for labor. It might be reaching to expect some of them to have the same quick judgement that you would. Hitting a pole vs. a van load of kids was not the worst judgement.

What would you think if he blew the transmission to stop it, but had no van load of kids story? That might not have looked so brilliant especially if it did not go into gear and he hit the van. Then you might ask why the idiot did not just swerve into a pole.

20/20 hind sight.
