"Click!" That's the sound of safety. That's the

sound of survival. That's the sound of a seat belt

locking in place. Seat belts save lives and that's a

fact. That's why I don't drive anywhere until

mine is on tight. Choosing to wear your seat belt

is a simple as choosing between life and death.

Which one do you choose?


Think about it. When you're driving in a car, you

may be going 60 MPH or faster. That car is

zipping down the road. Then somebody ahead of

you locks up his or her brakes. Your driver

doesn't have time to stop. The car that you are in

crashes. Your car was going 60 miles per hour.

Now it has suddenly stopped. Your body,

however, is still going 60 MPH. What's going to

stop your body? Will it be the windshield or

your seat belt? Every time that you get into a car

you make that choice. I choose the seat belt.
