      Yep, I just meant there are too many people who don’t use something until they get hurt, or something similar. I have a seatbelts on or I stop driving rule, and I do sometimes have to tell people. Including different siblings from the one who got hurt.

        My ex wife was in one of those 1 in 1 million accidents where wearing a seatbelt would have done more damage than not wearing it. Now she never wears her seatbelt because “a doctor” once said in her particular one off experience he was glad she wasn’t wearing one. SMH. I tried to explain how wearing a seatbelt is safer in almost every other account, but she doesn’t listen. It’s just a matter of time till my son doesn’t have a mother anymore.

        I also have a seatbelts on or I stop driving rule. A lot of people don’t want rides from me after I enforce that rule. Like, I’m responsible for their lives as the driver. If they die because they aren’t wearing their seatbelts while I was driving, it’s my fault for not making them buckle up. I even have seatbelts for my dogs because I want them to be as safe as I am. Passengers lives’ are in your hands when you drive. It’s really scary if you actually think about it in depth.
