This policy will be published in a job posting based on the number of recent requests on the subject, suggesting that some offices may not have received the policy revision in June. The policy previously published in Postal Bulletin 21440 (1-12-84) is revised to provide an exception to the section dealing with closed doors of vehicles. Below is a current policy on seat belt use, closing vehicle doors and authorized passengers: Seat belts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion. All vehicle doors must be closed on arrival and departure, when changing between parking and relay points and when entering or crossing lanes. If you drive a vehicle on delivery routes and drive at intervals of 500 feet (1/10 MILE) or less at speeds not exceeding 15 MPH between delivery stops, the door on the driver`s side may be left open. Rural carriers will follow the policy outlined in M-37, Obligations and Responsibilities of Rural Delivery Carriers, Section 161.
