I'm tellin' ya, UPS has told their drivers not to make
any turns, any more than are absolutely necessary. (Just as with hypermiling, one doesn't accelerate more than absolutely necessary, eh?)
GPS may know where they are, but it doesn't know whether they park at the curb or not. What galls me is that usually they
could easily park at the curb, barely turning the wheels to get to it, but they don't, even when there are hardly any cars parked curbside. (Refer to the first paragraph to understand the UPS company policy.) And, the height of hypocrisy is that their trucks now sport a large, red flag on the backside saying "safety" while they're parked in the middle of the road.
They can flout the law, but short of having a big, brown truck, we can't do the same.
