Re: mn seat belt law + bull

Two of my best friends were in front of me on the way to another bar one night, I had to turn around and pick up another friend. When I came back I saw a ton of flashing lights and the road was closed, had to find a different route. Two days later I got a call from my friend in that car ahead of us, turned out they were hit head on by a drunk driver, both of them had crushed legs, pelvis, arms, shoulders and a ton of cuts and bruises, both almost died. They would have been much better off had they worn their seatbelts and they both wear them religiously to this day, I've worn mine ever since as well.

One more story. My best friend at the time pulled out of a parking lot on a snowy day, his wife was wearing her seatbelt, he wasn't. He slid too far and got hit by a semi head on. He was killed instantly, his wife right beside him barely got a scratch. His seatbelt probably wouldn't have helped him much in this case, but wouldn't you rather play it safe?
