[QUOTE="soberups, post: 756810, member: 14668"] Incorrect. The vehicles in question [I]did[/I] meet the [B]bare minimum[/B] safety standards [U]in the year that they were built.[/U] They would [B]not[/B] meet the minimum standards in place today and they would be [I]illegal[/I] to dispatch onto a public road. Essentially, these vehicles are only legal to drive because they are "grandfathered in". In other words...UPS is taking advantage of a loophole in order to avoid having to provide safe equipment for its people to operate. As to the question of "how is unsafe to be defined".....[B]common sense[/B] would be a good place to start. [B]Common sense[/B] tells me that if I can buckle the lap belt and still lean forward far enough to rest my forehead on the windshield and my jawbone on top of an unpadded steering wheel...the car is [B]unsafe[/B] to drive.
