[QUOTE="soberups, post: 468951, member: 14668"] P-man.... If the intent of the system is to enhance safety, why did they not simply wire the system into the starter relay to prevent the vehicle from running at all if the belt was unbuckled or the door open? If UPS cares enough about our safety to invest millions of dollars in this equipment, why then does it then refuse to retrofit a 3 point belt into the same truck it is installing the telematic system into? A driver in an older package car is operating a vehicle that was intentionally designed to allow his head and face to be propelled at high speed into the steering wheel and thru the windshield in the event of a head-on collision. This was done to save approx. $40 at the time of purchase. Can you understand how that same driver might be a bit angry and cynical at the idea of the company spending over $500 on a system that can be used to terminate him for failing to wear that useless lap belt? As far as the other functions of telematics are concerned, it is your vehicle and you can monitor it however you choose to. But it is, quite frankly, an insult to the intelligence of every driver here to state that our safety is a motivating factor behind the installation of this equipment. [/QUOTE]
