Just a reminder


Do you wear your seatbelt every time you drive or passenger?
This is a good example of what can happen if you don't.
This crash photo from the 1940s or early '50s in Indianapolis clearly shows where the driver and passenger put their heads into - and in the passenger's case, through - the windshield.
This was commonplace in car crashes and happened years before seatbelts became required equipment in U.S. cars. That came along in the mid-1960s.
The son of a close friend of mine was killed last year because, for whatever foolish reason, he chose not to wear his seatbelt. I think about him often when I belt myself in.
