Neither rain, nor sleet, nor the nuisance of a seatbelt should delay Florida letter carriers. That’s the message a Senate committee sent this week to rural letter carriers.
Republican Senator Greg Evers of Pensacola is remaining true to his philosophy of less government regulations. His bill exempting Florida letter carriers from a requirement to wear seatbelts has already cleared its first hurdle.
“Florida is one of four states that does not already have an exemption from the safety belt usage requirement for the rural letter carrier.”
The letter carrier has to be on the job.
The bill would add to some other exemptions that already exist for garbage truck drivers, occupants in the living quarters of motor homes, newspaper carriers and people who have a note from their doctors.
