>> I hear "...and we survived", but that doesn't make the old way safe. My mom was in a crash and my brother went to the hospital. How many people are NOT here today today to say "...and we survived"?
That said, I think exercising common sense is in order.
@AverageJoe:
And how many die, trapped by a seatbelt?
The problem is we live in a world where we've been brainwashed to fear the worst in everything. WTF?? that's messed up, just being afraid ALL the time,. Even when you don't think you are. Your subconscious has been programmed to be scared.
Optimism is dead
@HipKat:
my neighbor would rather pay the ticket. he will not wear a seatbelt.
when he was younger he had picked up his friend for school, or something along those lines, was speeding down the street at mach1 and crashed. the crash sent his friend through the windshield and killed him. my neighbor spent 5 years in prison for that.
funny thing is, I have seen and heard him (my neighbor) tear out of his driveway and floor it on the street because he was having a hissy fit. I have heard him yell at other people to "slow down!" when people are driving to "fast" because *his * kids are outside.
that man is one of the reasons there are the laws. society MUST be protected from the hypocrites.
just sayin.
