Always Wear Your Seatbelt On

Thank goodness you are alright. Seat belts can be a pain - but you can at least live to talk about the pain!

Years ago a dear friend died because he wasn't wearing his seat belt.

Thank God you are OK. Being involved in a car accident myself, years ago, I know how scary it is. Thankfully we had our seatbelts on also.

I pray that you have a full and speedy recovery from your injuries.

Yes, thank goodness you are okay. I'm sure you're not feeling well, but you're okay.

I work for an insurance company, and you hear so many horror stories about accidents where the individuals involved are not wearing their seatbelts.

I know I should wear mine everytime I get in my car, even if it's just around the corner, I'm going to try to do better. Thank you for the reminder.

Vio, I'm so glad to hear you're OK. It's a shocking experience, and I'm sure you'll wear a seatbelt always!

John saved his life using his seat belt in S.A. in 1988, he drove out to a place called Londalozi in a rented car, and he was in a bit of a hurry on the dirt roads - the car spun around and ended on the roof. He managed to get out somehow, and then sat in the middle of nowhere, not knowing if a lion would come.

Scary, I'm so happy you were wearing your seatbelt. And you're right, its definately something to always remember to do!

Even if I'm just driving a small distance, I buckle up. I'm like Taz_Zoee in that I feel naked without one!

I guess it helped that my parents were always saying that we could never leave the driveway without being buckled up. Things like that just kind of stick in your mind.

I hope you are feeling better. I know you're definately feeling better than how you would have felt without that seatbelt!
