What happens if one of the drivers gets back to base, and then realises
that he has accidentally missed a couple of roads which he was supposed
to have done, in the furthest extremities of the UK? Does his boss give
him a good ticking off, and send him back (at his own expense and in his
own time) to rectify his mistake?
