Most companies say no more that 2 accidents in 3 years. Is that the same as an incident? What is the usual incident limit?

Also, a lot of companies use the word "preventable". It covers accidents and incidents that they feel the driver should/could have avoided regardless of who was at fault.x1Heavy and Travelworld2067 Thank this. -

That's a lot of "incidents".
Lonesome, BigBob410 and driverdriver Thank this. -
Boy some guys just don't get it.
The company can put any "incident" on the dac report, it can even be an internal "incident".
From years of doing this, there is no such thing as a dot accident, there is only levels of involvement, even if you are hit, it can be considered a preventable by the company.driverdriver Thanks this. -
Basically, an accident is you screwing up and damaging something in a vehicle.
An incident is just you screwing up, even if you didn't damage anything.driverdriver Thanks this. -
Seriously. gently hitting someone.
You clearly don't pay attention to what your doing.
