Driver training needed?

Appreciate that you probably have multiple drivers but one of them was driving stupidly along the A228 this morning. Not the type to write an angry review but he was swerving in between cars, getting right up close behind them... just so dangerous. Why put other people at risk? I mean seriously, I doubt anything will happen and he will continue like that but I would not want to work with a company that is comfortable with their employees driving like that. Will take it down if acknowledged - just a bit of humanity?!?
