Whatever other problems BAJR might have with my employer, we have a strict driving policy whereby anyone sent to a distant job (can't remember the distance/driving time offhand but its not anything unreasonable) can bill the company for overnight accomodation if it hasn't already been provided, but also we can do the same if we feel too tired at the end of the day to drive - the eventuality (which rarely comes up) is just costed in as a reasonable part of 'overheads', far more reasonable than accidents - and in a commercial sense cheaper too, although that sounds a bit harsh! We'd certainly never expect people to commute 2 hrs each way and do 8 hrs digging in between, that's outrageous!
