Okay. BTW, if I choose to not wear a seatbelt why should someone else play parent to me? If society doesn't like it, then revoke my 'privilege to drive' card.

ENJOY! to forum Print jsouth Member Loc:Wichita, KS NOTE: this is in response to the post by Hiker 2 How about both? There are a lot of idiots who won't were a seatbelt even though they have "proper" driver training. Did you know having people not wear a seatbelt can cost you money. It already does. For one thing look at insurance costs. With people being in wrecks without seatbelts cause people to be sued leading to higher insurance rates. Which leads me to my next point. Say you hit someone from behind and they don't have their seatbelt on and they get hurt. Guess what? You get to pay for it. Your insurance could even drop you depending on the circumstances. People may say it's my choice not to wear a seatbelt and the "state" can't make me. I think people should lose their license for not having seatbelts on. Thier costing me money.

Jones Published: Wednesday, November 26, 2003 About 30 traffic fatalities have occurred this year in the Brazos Valley, said Rhonda Seaton, master officer for the College Station Police Department. Some of those deaths could have been avoided with the use of safety belts, officials say, which is why CSPD and other law enforcement departments across the country are participating in the nationwide "Click It or Ticket" campaign. The Click It or Ticket campaign, created by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), encourages law enforcement agencies to focus on safety belt violations. This two-week campaign, which began last week and ends Nov. 30, is designed to create public awareness about seat belt laws nationwide. Many U.S. states have secondary laws, which only allow law enforcement officers to issue a citation for failing to wear a safety belt if the driver has already violated another traffic law. In Texas and some other states, primary laws are in effect, allowing officers to pull over a driver simply to issue a citation for not wearing a safety belt.

KIRO 7 Consumer Investigator Wayne Havrelly discovered some local car owners who say the seatbelts are unlatching during sudden stops and accidents. The seatbelt in question is called the "Generation 3" seatbelt. It's standard equipment in many Chryslers and Dodges. Nationally, several deaths are blamed on these belts for unlatching during accidents. We found a Western Washington family who claim their baby was hurt when the Gen 3 seatbelt unlatched during a sudden stop, sending their 2-year-old flying. "It's a nice solid car seat," said Israel James.

Child Seatbelt Safety Buckle Up Traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for ages one to 34 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the United States alone, more than 40,000 are killed and more than four million require emergency department treatment. The United States Department of Transportation recorded 653 children between zero and four-years old were killed in 1996 because of traffic accidents. How preventable were most of these deaths and how can you protect your children and/or grandchildren? Seatbelts can save and protect occupants in the event of a motor vehicle crash. In a recent survey by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), seatbelt use increased from 50.6% to 71.5% in children up to sixty pounds. This still leaves a significant number of children unrestrained. Of those 71.5% who were restrained, 73% were restrained improperly and were still at great risk for permanent injury. How can you protect your children? Here are some tips from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:

NEVER place an infant in front of an air bag. When infants reach one year of age and at least 20 pounds, they can graduate to child safety seats that face forward. When he or she has outgrown the convertible seat, a booster seat that positions the lap/shoulder belt correctly should be used. If you weigh 60-80 pounds and you are tall enough to sit with knees bent at the edge of the seat you can use adult lap/shoulder belts provided in the car.

Home Tools Links What's New ... Help Seatbelt Safety Infants (From birth to 12 months and 20 pounds) All infants should ride in the back seat of the car in a rear-facing safety seat . The seat should recline at a 45-degree angle. This is the safest position for two reasons: A. An infant can be seriously injured or killed if an airbag inflates. B. Riding rear-facing best protects a child's head and neck The only exception to putting infants in the back seat are if a car does not have a back seat and the passenger airbag can be deactivated. (The airbag should always be reactivated when preparing to ride with older passengers.) The safety seat should be firmly fastened in place and shouldn't move from side to side or back-to-front. Be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions. At first, when a

Seatbelt Safety by Pam Walker, Assistant Program Director On Wednesday April 10th of this year, I had an opportunity to testify before the Massachusetts Public Safety Committee at our State House in Boston, in support of House Bill # 4241. What is House Bill #4241 you ask? This bill is asking the Massachusetts Legislature to mandate a law requiring the installment and use of 3 point seatbelts (shoulder/lap belts) on all of our school buses. I felt very privileged to be able to voice my support for school bus seatbelts and to be actually involved in making our State government work. Some of the facts which caused me to want to support this Bill are as follows: Each year 1 out of every 10 school buses are involved in crashes, in the United States the leading cause of death in children ages 4-19 is the failure to buckle up, 63% of all children who die in crashes are unrestrained, and lastly, three-point seatbelts would cost $3500. per bus, that's a one time charge of $3.24 per passenger. We all know the devastation and tragedy caused by suffering a traumatic brain injury. One of the simple answers to decreasing the numbers of these injuries is to put our kids in buses which offer the greatest protection possible. 3 point seatbelts will protect our children and save our tax dollars. If you would like more information on 3 point seatbelts, there is a website that can help.

Do you think recreation or large vehicle parking should be allowed on residential streets? Current Results Previous Polls A recent rural seatbelt survey has revealed some disturbing statistics about how many people are not buckling up in the rural areas. Some long-time rural residents tend to jump into the vehicle to drive the short distance to the corner store. The mind set is that nothing will happen, what can happen I'm only going two blocks? This ignorance of the dangers of traffic, whether on city streets or on rural roads, has led to more than 607 emergency room visits by people involved in motor vehicle incidents in the Headwaters region. Six hundred and seven! That number also includes incidents where people in rural areas are also ignoring stop signs. About 65 people are killed each year in Alberta when a stop sign is ignored. Disobeying the rules of the road has led to needless death and accidents of many in this region. We attempt to say our community is safe, but the rules of the road don't apply?

No-Cache return to current issue Wednesday, February 16, 2000 Disturbing trend revealed in seatbelt safety survey By Gillian Beckett Staff Reporter Speed Limit And Large Vehicle Parking Survey What do you think the speed limit in the residential areas should be? Do you think recreation or large vehicle parking should be allowed on residential streets? Current Results Previous Polls An alarming statistic on driver safety on rural roads has prompted local RCMP and the Headwaters Health Authority (HHA) to take action. Results from the first comprehensive rural seatbelt survey, which was conducted in June of 1999, has shown that in Alberta about 69 per cent of people are wearing seatbelts while travelling on country roads. In addition, the survey has revealed that approximately 40 per cent of rural drivers in the province fail to stop at stop signs. Although according to the HHA the number of seatbelt users were shown to be slightly higher at 73 per cent in the Headwaters region, local RCMP are nonetheless concerned. 'The numbers of drivers killed on rural roads is about four times higher than in the city,' said Sgt. Rick Oncescu of the High River RCMP in a press release. 'It is disappointing to see that many people are not using common sense.'

The VADguard Cushion Sir Isaac Newton's first law states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion. When your vehicle is traveling, so are you. When your vehicle suddenly stops due to a collision, your body still tries to move forward. If you are not wearing a seatbelt, your body will move forward until you collide with something that is not likely to be soft. Seatbelts are proven devices that reduce the risk of serious injury or death in a crash.
