[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1010370, member: 4653"] Being able to recite the DOK will not prevent accidents. We could teach a 10 year old girl to recite them but would you want her behind the wheelof a UPS truck? However, if you APPLY them it will prevent accidents. For example, 6-8 seconds following distance will prevnt you from EVER rear-ending someone(TIER III). Still, if you are driving down the road and another car crosses the center-line because they were texting you WILL BE CHARGED with a TIER III. Off the road for 30 days or however long it takes for them to investigate and clear you. This is simply not fair. We(UPS drivers) are the safest drivers on the planet, yet we get criticized for every little accident. They are accidents for goodness sake. If its our fault then fine bring on the disipline. But don't blame us for someone else's gross negligence. Don't take money and food off my table because someone else crossed the center-line at 40 MPH and hit me! [/QUOTE]
