I always wear a seat belt. I’ve seen pictures of those who didn’t. I also attended the funeral of a 21 year old who hit a curb while at a low speed, and went through the sun-roof.

I always wear a seat belt. Me too. I always figure that in the event I go in the water I at least want to improve my chances of being conscious so that then I can then deal with panicking or not. I also have a seat-belt knife in my center console and a steel center-punch in a sheath clipped to the side of my seat.

A few weekends ago I was on a call (EMT) to a motor vehicle accident. Some young fool had bought a car with brakes that the seller told him were bad, drove around for three weeks, and rear-ended someone. The cars weren't much damaged, but he had knocked in six lower teeth on the steering wheel, and continued upward to put a nice spiderweb in the windshield with his forehead.
Then he got out and walked around for a while and when the cops got there, he got back in his car and buckled himself in.

Do you recall the story of Barbra Mandrell and her children?
They were out driving one night and saw a horrible car wreck. For some reason, she told her kids to buckle up. She did too. Minutes later, they were slammed head on by a drunk driver. The seatbelts saved their lives. When I read that in the papers years ago, I resolved to use the seatbelts every single time I drove. Amazing what hits home for people, isn’t it? About two years later, I was in a pretty serious accident with a pickup, and my young son and I walked away with only bruises. I love Barbra Mandrell and her sisters. That’s real talent!
Prayers for all the people involved in the 35 bridge. God bless them all.
