[QUOTE="soberups, post: 749483, member: 14668"] Airbags are nice in smaller cars, but they would probably be of minimal benefit in a package car-type vehicle. They are also extremely expensive and there is no way to retrofit them. Shoulder belts, on the other hand, add virtually nothing to the overall cost of the vehicle. They have been standard in passenger cars for several decades, and they make a [I]huge[/I] difference in survivability for the driver. More importantly, many of the older cars we have were designed [I]by the factory[/I] to have shoulder belts as an [I]option. [/I]UPS simply made the business decision that the life of its employees was not worth the cost of this option, and chose instead to delete it. [/QUOTE]
