ive seen our flaggers take their metal slow/stop signs and smack them into the sides of cars as well. if they're shaking their sign while its says slow...go slower...if not, they'll hit your car and not a damn thing will happen to them..you'll go through icbc and they'll say you shouldve just gone slower and obeyd the traffic control person.
when we put up road closed signs, you'd be surprised how many cocksuckers decide to go around the sign cause its too much of a hassle to go back and around the block. if the road is closed, that entire street is my work zone, if we see a car drive around that sign, i have and wont hesitate to throw a shovel or a wrench at your car. ive hit multiple cars for doing this, right after doing it we'll call the cops, its 10+ witnesses to 1 person.
i dont work for some private contractor company, im a city worker, so police tend to believe us since we know most of the rcmp in our city, every morning theres a line of cop cars filling up their gas tanks in our service yard where we fill our trucks up...so we tend to talk to each other and see each other on the road quite a bit.

I don't think any of us has any problems with all the flag girls, it's just that they're not consistent in their work ethics. Most of them obviously know what they're doing and you can see it in the way they conduct themselves. I've seen a few that definitely need more training and maybe an attitude adjustment. Like you say, ICBC will believe them rather than the driver, and it goes to their heads.
I fill up once in a while at the service yard but only at night and never see anyone around.
