Well I was not saying not to wear a seatbelt...I wear mine too. maybe not
religiously though. I just have a problem with one sided opinions. That's
all. I don't mean to offend anyone with this comment but I hear them all the
time. I would just wish that everyone would just step back sometimes and
look at situations from all angles.

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.
