[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 710164, member: 22610"] Last Thursday night/ Friday morning, in Kansas City, in an industrial area, a car approaching a UPS tractor trailer veered directly into the tractors path, hitting it head on, both vehicles going about 35 mph. The street offered no escape to the right, so the tractor locked up his brakes, and was hit square head on. I'm just wondering which of the methods would have avoided this one. As for a cost/benefits analysis of lap belts, driver's air bag, padded dash, I would be greatly surprised if the company had not done an analysis comparing the costs to the liability for the deaths or injuries that would be likely to occur if such options were not fitted on our package cars. I mean, someone in the company writes the specifications for new package cars. [/QUOTE]
