Hi Roger, sorry you had to go through that horrifying experience.
I'm with you on wearing your seatbelt. It saves lives...period.
My car won't move an inch until I have it on.
I've heard the stupidest excuses from people to not wear them.
But far the worst I've seen in my country, was a white T-Shirt with a black stripe across your chest to simulate you were wearing it. It was supposed to confuse the police to avoid a ticket. Some people are so dumb to say the least...and have no care for life.
Good to know we have people like you!
Good Luck,
Warrior__
