[QUOTE="soberups, post: 678509, member: 14668"] The "safety committee" isnt doing jack sh&t. In the last 10 years there have been 3 head-on collisions in my building, one of which resulted in a fatality. All 3 involved motorists that crossed over the center line and hit us head on. All 3 were subsequently deemed [B]unavoidable.[/B] The one with a fatality was particularly gruesome. The only reason our driver survived was because the P-5 he normally drove was in the shop and he was in a P-7 with a shoulder belt. The shoulder belt is what saved his life, not a 10 pt commentary or a Keter audit. And its not just about seatbelts. I know several old time drivers, some who were forced into early retirement, who suffer from chronic arthritis, tendonitis and bursitis in their shoulders and wrists from years of fighting non-power steering vehicles. They didnt need a commentary or a word game. They needed [B]proper equipment[/B] for the job, and they didnt get it. [/QUOTE]
