Importance of wearing seat belts
This came over our news desk recently. Amazing that some people, even a Volvo driver, believe they will never get in an accident. A couple of years ago, while talking with the head of PR at State Farm, he said that a driver can expect an accident once every 12 years. Granted, probably not life threatening, but still it’s a risk.
Frankly, I’m amazed at how folks still don’t buckle up. I had to remind my in-laws to buckle up every time we took them somewhere. That was until a couple of years ago when Grace, riding in the back of a friend’s sedan, hit a speed bump and she went flying.
Strange how today, we manufactures are held responsible for the safety of occupants, how we invest millions of dollars in research, development and manufacturing to make cars safer, in a sense to compensate for driver inattention, failure to use equipment properly, and just to buckle up.
Good week to you all.
