Why do you really have to put your seatbacks in their upright position during takeoff and landing?

In the U.S., taxi meters (and the manner in which they collect speed data) are regulated by the federal government under the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The publications which outlines the restrictions applicable to taxi meters is called NIST Handbook 44 (Section 5.54 deals with taxi meters) and says NOTHING about the collection of data in reverse.

The taxi meter collects data from the car's transaxle pulse-speed sensor (about 1992-now) or from a speedometer cable patch transducer (pre-1992).

Seat belts?


In both cases, it depends on the car whether speed readings are present in reverse; the meter will see any distance the car travels in reverse IF the car speedometer gives speed readings in reverse (easy enough to test).

Road test!?


But most taxi meter units, employ internal circuitry to filter out reverse-polarity signals, leaving only forward-direction information (I am told to reduce meter manufacturer law suits).

Bottom line...

Who hates convertibles?


Though there may be no regulation forbidding it, there is usually no fare associated with distances traveled in reverse gear. The fare calculation will not depend on this data, therefore the driver will not owe YOU money.

There is also a time-spent meter (which may or may not be additionally enabled), so YOU could end up owing money anyway.
