[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 749933, member: 4653"] I agree 100%. A poster stated that "the lack of a 3-point seatbelt is a gross negligence on the scale of BP". Wow! Who are you trying to sell that to? The BP event caused billions of dollars in damage and clean up efforts. Add the deaths of fish and other marine animals and we have a problem. The lack of 3-point belts has caused nothing on the scale of BP? Has it? Did you really say that? I don't know, I've been at UPS for 11 years and have never heard of anyone going through the windshield. I also have never heard about a major accident in my center of 200 drivers in 11 years. We are the safest drivers in the world! Still, it doesn't mean it won't happen, however our defensive driving skills are going to save my life more than a seatbelt will and I believe that. I truly believe this and have already begun teaching my 15 year-old daughter the 5 seeing habits. She hates me and shrugs me off, but I told her she needs to learn them before I take her driving on her permit. If some of it sticks, I will be very happy. Also, (I say this sarcasticaly) if you use the 5 seeing habits and 10-point commentary you will never need a seatbelt because you will never get into and accident, right??? Why even install them if the expectation is for us never to get into an accident? [/QUOTE]
