Drunk driving isn’t an accident.
First that you need after and acident - to hire a
good lawyer. When I was a senior in
highschool, three of my classmates were involved in a car-bus
collision at highway speed. The two unbelted front seat passengers
were killed. One’s head went through the windshield. The other was
decapitated by the door frame. The belted driver was seriously
injured but did survive. Three votes for wearing a seatbelt. The
belted bus driver got a scratch on his leg. Make that four
votes.In the course of my nearly 40 year
career as a claims adjuster, I heard many people argue against
wearing seatbelts, usually due to fear of being “trapped” in a
wreck. There is even a doohickey one can buy online to enable one
to slice through a jammed seatbelt or to break a window. I’m sure
you’ve seen this device. It’s worthless because it’s too short and
the window-punch doesn’t have enough leverage to break a window.
The seatbelt cutter is worthless because the damn thing is going to
be stored out of the way in your glove box, where you can’t reach
it anyway. It used to cost $39, but now you can get it for
$5.95—which is about what it’s worth.
