[QUOTE="FrowningBrown, post: 2052023, member: 62017"] Drivers in our center are now being observed and warned about any petty offense including not sounding the horn at each and every stop. Management is also very strict on coming to a complete stop at every stop sign and always reminds us that it is the law to do so. Since they claim they are very strict in following the law I dug up our state law on the use of Horns. Seems to me that horns should only be used when necessary, to try to avoid an accident or give warning for safety. UPS wants us to blow the horn at every stop when we are coming to a stop. This is not for safety at all.....It is to try to alert a home owner to come running out of his house and meet us to save a millisecond or have some very busy business owner on the 2nd floor of a building drop what he is doing and come running down 2 flights of stairs to grab his pkg. I've been verbally warned that I don't use the horn at every single stop (my supe apparently thinks somehow this practice will get my over allowed under an hour from where it is now at 1.50) Maybe I should have posted this in the union message forum but am wondering if this letter of our state regulations will help my case about being harassed for this method infraction.
