[QUOTE="rod, post: 356235, member: 5382"] Correct me if I am wrong but back in the stoneage when UPS package cars DIDN"T have seatbelts I don't recall UPS jumping on the "saftey bandwagon" and preaching that they wanted seatbelts. Back then delivery vehicals were exempt from the seatbelt laws. At least that is what we were told. As a matter of fact the first time I experianced driving a P600 with a seatbelt it was fastened to the seat frame but the seat post was on a hinge so you could fold the whole seat forward to exit out the drivers door. In other words all the belt did was keep your lifeless body inside the truck after you had already slammed into the steering wheel and windshield. I know we drove them like that for months before the seat posts were welded solid. As much as UPS preaches "Saftey" they have always been a company that waited until they were forced to to make saftey improvements. :peaceful: I just tells it like it is. [/QUOTE]
