: Youre absolutely right about seat belts - I
: remember eons ago in high school driver ed
: hearing that most accident injuries arent in
: the accident itself, but in people being
: thrown from the car. I feel naked without

: start the car - before putting it in gear.
: Thank all the gods you were wearing yours!

: This is not a TOD message but I feel I have
: to
: say it. Last Thursday when I was driving
: home a car hit me from the side. My car
: rolled over into a parked car. My car was
: so small the fire department had to break my
: windshield to get me out. I walked out of
: the car on my own. My message is, PLEASE
: USE YOUR SEAT BELTS! Don't think it isn't
: macho. It, along with some angels, saved my
: life. I can't stress enough how I feel.
: Everyone I tell this story is shocked. Even
: the fire department expected to find me
: dead. The last thing they expected was to
: hear me say "GET ME OUT OF HERE!".
: All I had was three cuts on my hand and that
: was from the glass as they broke it. Maybe
: it's a Christmas miracle. I don't know. I
: guess it just wasn't my time. So, please,
: heed my advice. Seat belts DO save lives.
