Pork Pie Pete had an accident while driving his truck after taking pills to ease pain without informing his boss. His medical certification was expired, so he was not legally allowed to drive. His company did not properly check his license status online. As a result, Pete will lose his job and the company will face penalties from the police and regulatory authorities for allowing an unfit driver. The poem emphasizes the importance for commercial drivers and their employers to ensure drivers are medically fit to drive and do not take medications that could impair their abilities without proper clearance.
