>He also said that if postmen drivers observed the law on putting on seat belts every time they got out to deliver a letter/package that they would be out till midnight so they didn't put them on in his day. dont know about now as that would mean penalty points<
Jeez I've heard some flimsy excuses in my time and that's up there with the best of them! So lets see it takes oh about 2 seconds to put on a seat belt, so lets multiply that by 2 for putting on and taking off, and by the 300/400 houses he delivered to a day, that adds up to a grand total of less than 30 minutes in the day - hardly brings him up to midnight does it!!
