Why we wear seatbelts?
Over the holidays, I got to see my nephews and nieces who are all growing up fast with some in grade school and some in high school. Who would know. I just got a phone call that one of my nephews was seriously injured in a auto accident and he wasn't wearing his seat belt. He hit the windshield and he wasn't at fault but the windshield didn't care. It brought back a brief flashback when I was about 19 and was involved in auto accident. I was wearing my lapbelt as that was all we had back then and my friend hit the windshield because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt. Luckily, he wasn't seriously injured. I have always been a strong believer in using seat belts and even more so over the years. There is nothing easier to use than a seat belt to bring your young drivers home safely. Nothing that is other than putting the cell phone away when driving and paying attentiion. That is another serious threat to other peoples safety. Thanks.
