Once peak ends....the flavors if the month are back...January tends to be Mango Misload Madness

I like to call it "Nit Pick Season."

On a somewhat related note, how do you all feel about police being allowed to investigate and prosecute based solely on video and comments posted on social media?

There was a story on my local news this morning where the Vermont State Police are prosecuting a man who posted a video showing him driving more than 120 mph on an interstate highway. They did some additional investigation before charging him with several counts of unsafe driving.

That whole "sitting on the seatbelt" trick really works. You wrap it around the seat frame a few times and click it in. Then, every time you stop you unclick it. You can even stop, open bulkhead, complete delivery and then unclick and reclick, and it doesn't (well, DIDN'T) show up on any reports.....not that I would ever do that

If you are going to all that trouble, why not just wear it?

Agree / There's no way in hell I'm going to sit on that bird perch with both doors open ( year round ) w/o a seat belt fastened.

If a person is (a) stupid enough to drive 100MPH on a pubic road and (b) stupid enough to post video of it on social media then he deserves to have it used against him.

Our a center got bored with Telematics years ago. Apparently it kills production. We had one guy get caught with the seatbelt buckled underneath his butt. Didn't get fired for it. Got fired for it plus other things.

Why on earth would anyone do this? I wear my seatbelt because if I screw up and rearend someone, I don't want to freaking die going through the windshield. Sitting on your buckled seatbelt is a death wish.

My daughter agrees with you.

My daughter agrees with you.

I am all for the right to privacy and minimizing government intrusion in our personal lives, but there is no right to privacy on a public road and there is certainly no expectation of or right to "privacy" in regards to anything that has been freely posted on social media.
