I totally agree, Chapell. I was in an accident in
1984... I was in a VW bug (backseat driver's side) and
we got T-Boned by a Buick who admitted he never saw
that the signal was red. Had I been wearing the seat
belt my hip would have been crushed and I would not be
able to walk today. Fortunately, in that instance, I
wasn't wearing it, and I had refused to wear one for
the longest time because of it. Fact is, seat belts
save lives more often than not and once I realized
this I began religiously wearing mine. I won't move
the Dak unless EVERYONE in it is wearing a seatbelt.
