[QUOTE="soberups, post: 819661, member: 14668"] If you have a newer car with an automatic, it will also trigger a report if you shift out of "park" with an unbuckled belt, even if the vehicle doesnt move. It is important for people who are about to go live on Telematics to understand exactly what a "report" is so that they dont get all wound up about it. A "report"....is nothing but a piece of paper with some ink on it. When your center first goes live, these "reports" will be spewed out by the dozens. They will litter the ground like confetti, and I am [I]not[/I] exaggerating. Your management team will have a clipboard full of the damn things every morning and they will chase people around and whine about what is on those reports. They will try to create the impression that the reports actually [I]matter[/I]. Well, they dont. Obviously we need to be safe and we need to wear our seatbelt and shut the door when the car is in motion but in the [I]real[/I] world that door will pop open once or twice for every 200 times you close it and in the [I]real[/I] world there might be once or twice during the day when you may not get the belt fully latched before the wheels move 2 inches. Your management team will treat such events as if they meant the end of the world as we know it. But you wont get fired, and life [I]will[/I] go on. [/QUOTE]
