[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm honestly quite surprised at how many people are okay with this!

I'm a nanny, and I don't even go 2mph over the speed limit when I have my charges in the car. If this were my nanny, I would probably either ban her from driving (if there were alternative transportation) or fire her if I needed a reliable driver for my kids. I wouldn't make that choice lightly, because finding a good nanny who fits with your family isn't easy, but this seems so negligent I don't know how I could overlook it. Unless it was a speed trap zone (where the limit drops suddenly and cops like to ticket people who are still in the midst of slowing down) I wouldn't be able to keep her on as a driver for my kids.

Full disclosure being that I myself have been in three very serious accidents (as a passenger) and lost two good friends at 16 and 20 in road accidents where they were speeding, so I know I am more extreme than most people. But nonetheless...[/quote]

No one likes a martyr. It's fine you've never been caught with a speeding ticket, but I would hardly call going over the speed limit negligence to a child's well-being. She told the mb, so she clearly cares about the well being of the kids and the opinions of the parents. [/quote]

Going 12mph over the speed limit with children in the car is absolutely negligence! Not only is she breaking the law, but speed limits exist for a reason - either because of traffic and road conditions, neighborhood zoning, or hidden drives. I don't think I'm being a martyr by saying I do not speed - it's not that I haven't been caught, I actually follow posted speed limits - but hearing how many nannies here think it's okay, I can completely understand why some MBs don't want nannies driving their children (I work for one). Yikes![/quote]
