I wonder how many people have died in wrecks brought on when they were trying to put on their seatbelts at 70 mph.

I've wondered that myself. You get extra points if you were talking on your cellphone at the time, or smacking a kid in the back seat.

Egad. I saw a woman flying down Whalley Ave. the other day while looking back and screaming at her kid in the back seat. Between the nutso drivers and the increasingly obnoxious pedestrians, this town is going to put me off driving entirely.

Oh, and I made this original post from my cellphone. But I was going 5 mph in a traffic jam on the Merritt Parkway, so it was all good.

According to caraccidents.com if 90 percent of Americans buckled up, we will prevent more than 5,500 deaths and 132,000 injuries annually.

Heck, the Britney Spears airbag featured in this pic above may have not saved the car from being trainwrecked, but the driver because he also wore his seatbelt too, is in stable condition and left with a perma-grin etched on his face. ;)

Imagine that the kid's last memory of Mama is her screaming obscenities at him ten short seconds before her head is sheared off by a truck.

Rushing there just ain't worth it. Accidents last a lot longer than the appointment you're late for.

Thank you, Little Miss Public Service. :P

And I wear mine when I remember. It just happens that I often remember when I'm speeding down the highway.

Where can I get one o' them airbags?
