[QUOTE="soberups, post: 507765, member: 14668"] In the case of the [I]specific[/I] package cars I am referring to....those made in the late 80's thru mid 90's....industry standard features included 3 -point seatbelts and power steering. Every comparable FedEx and DHL vehicle that I have seen over the last 22 yrs has had these features. These features were intentionally deleted by UPS up until the last day that it was legally or contractually allowable for them to do so. The [I]specific[/I] package cars I am referring to were in fact designed[I] from the factory[/I] with mounting points for the 3 point belts, and could easily and legally have such belts retrofitted using factory-supplied OEM hardware. I even went to the trouble in an earlier thread of taking pictures with specific vehicle models and #s. Perhaps someone with better computer skills than I could post a link to this thread. Do not try to lead this argument astray with red herrings about airbags, roll cages, helmets or Volvos. What we are debating is package cars that had industry-standard safety features intentionally deleted by a company that cares more about profits than the safety of its people. [/QUOTE]
