[QUOTE="soberups, post: 711307, member: 14668"] The package cars were built to UPS's specifications. They met the bare minimum DOT safety requirements that were in force at the time. 3 point seat belts were [B]optional [/B]equipment in package-car sized vehicles until 1995. After that, they became [B]required [/B]equipment. UPS made a business decision that the life of the driver was not worth the $50 or so it would have cost to install this option. UPS continued to order its package cars with lap belts right up until the very last [B]day[/B] that it was legal to do so. [/QUOTE]
