[QUOTE="Bristol Brown, post: 802106, member: 16993"] You are obviously misunderstanding me!!!!!! I am not talking about backing onto a freeway where cars are travelling at high speed. I am talking about backing onto a loading bay about 15ft away. The law in the UK says that you can back without a seatbelt because common sense says that it is impossible for you to be in a position for your seatbelt to save you from injury.Of course if you want to leave your doors open stick your head out the the side of the vehicle while backing onto a freeway into on rushing high speed vehicles thats different. The zero tolerance on seatbelts by UPS that isn`t law is just plain bloody ridiculous.In the UK couriers will never get a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt as in town centres they never reach speeds of more than 20mph. A lot of the UPS driving rules are plain nonsense, on every s & v ride I refuse to honk the horn when I reverse nor do I put the four way flashers on.I get marked down for it and explain why I dont employ these ridiculous actions. If UPS want a horn honked when reversing then they should install a horn that operates when the vehicle is in reverse. [/QUOTE]
