[QUOTE="soberups, post: 353533, member: 14668"] There is a driver in my center who was involved in a head-on collision in Feb. of 2004. A woman was on her cell phone, lost control coming around a blind turn, and hit our driver head on at 55 mph. He was in his own lane, following all methods, and the accident was deemed to be unavoidable. The woman was driving an SUV. She died before the EMT's could cut her out. Our driver was driving a P700 [I]with[/I] a shoulder belt. He suffered a fractured ankle. The only reason our driver is still alive today...is because the p500 that was normally dispatched on that route was in the shop for repairs. Had he been in that vehicle, with no shoulder belt, his head would have been propelled at high speed [I]through[/I] the windshield and his brains would have splattered all over the hood of the package car. But hey...as long as UPS passes its Keter audit and the driver is current on his "asessments" prior to burial, I guess that is an acceptable outcome. At least we saved $30 on the belt. [/QUOTE]
