[QUOTE="soberups, post: 801165, member: 14668"] (A) Every one of those deaths would have been prevented if the vehicles in question had 3 pt belts with ignition cutouts that prevented the driver from being able to lean out or start the car without the belt on. (B) No one is saying that seat belt use should be optional. Company policy, state and federal law, as well as common sense all dictate that seat belts should be worn 100% of the time. (C) The company is NOT doing everything in its power to enforce seat belt use if it spends $700 to wire the car up with sensors that only generate a report when it would be just as easy to disable the ignition and guarantee 100% compliance. (D) The time, energy and money being pissed away on some feel-good "pledge" would be better spent on making genuine [I]real world[/I] improvements to our equipment and facilities. If you are going to dispatch a driver in a vehicle that was designed to allow his head to be driven thru the windshield during a collision...and you then add insult to injury by intentionally deleting the 3 point belt option from that vehicle in order to save yourself $40....dont get your feelings hurt when that same driver tells you exactly where you can stick the "pledge" that you are wanting him to sign.
