[QUOTE="OLDMAN3, post: 1424719"] Ok, Here is how a center manager and former LP manager explained it. For decades, every time someone would take UPS to court for backing over a kid, Ups would show the statistics that prove that back-up alarms do not reduce the number of injuries caused by backing drivers. UPS drivers were plain and simple less likely to back into someone than other companies. This worked in court every time, saving UPS the expense of installing beepers, UNTIL... One judge agrees with UPS's argument about beepers, but ruled that rear-view cameras DO save lives and ordered all UPS package cars to be outfitted with them. UPS was then forced to install all those cameras instead of just installing the beepers. [/QUOTE]
