Fasten Your Seatbelt.
Commander Zero Started conversation Dec 21, 1999
Okay, I have to admit that I've already been in two auto accidents in my life where, if I'd had my seatbelts on I'd be dead. But that's another story and those days are long gone.
Recently, I was in the unfortunate position of jamming my brakes at 40 MPH, bracing for impact, hearing my tired skid on a slight wet road, and thinking, "Damn, I should have my seatbelt on!" It all happened in about 2 seconds.
It wasn't my fault. The other guy stalled, restarted his car, and then
proceeded to turn in front of me thinking the world hadn't changed.
At that momemt our worlds were about to change in a BIG way.
I wasn't hurt, just dazed. He had a severe concussion and was taken to the hopital. Both vehicles were demolished in what the insurance company nicely calls a "total loss." Well, hey, I'm still alive.
But I fasten my seat belt every time I get in a car.
Drive safely -- hang up and drive!
