Drivers seat belt into passenger lock

[DB1100]

Colleague in Exeter was summarily dismissed on Monday for leaving his van in the yard with the passenger’s seatbelt plugged into the driver’s seat belt holder,at no time was he seen driving without a seatbelt.He has denied driving the van without a sealtbelt.

Regardless of is it fair is it this is it that,(His branch is looking into it ect)this is Royal Mail!

Belt up...properly!

His word against there's and no actual proof,just the biased statement that he left his van in the yard with the seatbelt plugged in,what a terrible state of affairs,could be 20 or 30 years service gone because someone has a grudge against you

I think we all get the message that Seat Belts are to worn whenever moving the vehicle. Having said that there's a lot of difference between the various driving duties. I've done some were the vehicle was only moved a dozen times during the whole duty....Not too much trouble using the seatbelt. Yet others I've counted moving the vehicle 65 times! The seatbelt then becomes a factor! The same goes for the RM Video about the correct way to park the vehicle.

Fair Enough we should always use the seatbelt! As previously mentioned..... It would be interesting to have Duties tested "Correctly", with the seatbelt being worn for every move, and perhaps with mail in the rear etc! We all know that's never going to happen!

Well said that man!! And so it goes on,and they let us rant and squabble amongst ourselves, common sence approach,but that rarely happens now!
