[QUOTE="soberups, post: 3828849, member: 14668"] There is a 250-unit housing development in my loop that was an empty field when I started delivering there. It has only one entrance and exit. Once the streets had been put in and the number grid established, I sat down (on the clock) and wrote a detailed trace for the entire development that would, by using the cul-de-sacs and loop streets, [I][U]allow the driver to deliver to every single address in the development without having to back once.[/U][/I] My trace was installed into PDS, and one time I actually went over [I]two years[/I] without ever putting the car into reverse when I delivered there. I was kind of proud of that accomplishment. That is called [U]walking the walk [/U]when it comes to safety. Then ORION came along, threw that trace in the garbage, and replaced it with an idiotic cluster-coitus that takes away the safety of a set routine, that has the driver running it a different way every day, and that has him backing multiple times in a neighborhood full of children. All for a theoretical savings in distance that would be measured in tens of feet. So yes, ORION is unsafe. Any system that intentionally destroys the driver’s established routine and that forces the driver to unnecessarily back is, by definition, unsafe. [/QUOTE]
