[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1529528, member: 28388"] You don't need to do all that and buckling the seatbelt when you're not in it can be considered dishonesty as you're intentionally trying to deceive. Also if the engine revs and hops the curve you're going to have a runaway/accident. I seem to recall someone saying telematics counts idle time as when the vehicle's RPMs are under x revolutions, whether you're in park or drive, so when you're in park and giving it a little gas to get the engine to warm up it may not add to the idle counter and conversely if you're in drive but stopped at a light for an extended period it supposedly adds to the idle counter. I wouldn't get out of my seat with the truck in drive and definitely wouldn't mess with the seatbelt/sensor. That's asking for trouble. [/QUOTE]
