[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 801088, member: 927"] Okay... I don't know why, but I'll bite.... Wiring the Seat Belt to the ignition is one way to ensure you don't drive without your seat belt. I don't know the cost of that method vs. the $600 per vehicle for Telematics. However, that would only help with that one issue. Telematics also gathers much other information. Backing, bulkhead door. Speed, Braking, etc. While Telematics has a goal of improving safety, that is NOT the only goal. It gathers information can can be used to find improper travel, improper dispatch, automotive issues, etc. It does much more than just seat belts. It has won many awards and UPS has a patent on this technology : [URL]http://www.patentgenius.com/patent/7571036.html[/URL] Chasing a tail? Not in this case. I have seen the results. In case Fraucus jumps in, I did triple check the automotive information with the top dog. Lets not debate that again. Telematics centers have a much improved safety record (greater than 99.9% seat belt usage, much reduced backing, etc.) Driver performance in those sites are also much improved compared to other sites. Lets face it, not all drivers are perfect nor perfectly honest. This quickly finds them. In contrast, has it been improperly used by some? Yes. I have seen that. I don't condone having a discussion over 30 seconds. On the other hand, I have seen discussions be very positive. UPS will continue the Telematics rollout. It will spend the money becasue it saves money. Okay. There is the information again. Do what you will with it. [/QUOTE]
