    william.ali.kay Needs more cowbell!

    Hopefully we all made it through yesterday safe and sound.
    But with shopping, Xmas, and New Years coming up, it will still be crazy out there like always.
    Please be safe and lets all make it through another year together.

    This video shows that even driving a big rig on the street still requires a seatbelt.

    Yes, please be careful out there. I was witness to a nasty t-bone accident on the way home today from shipping a console at the UPS center. After a full ten seconds after the light turned red, a bunch of hicks come flying through the light and slam into a woman's car (luckily for her their car hit right behind her driver's side door) sending in a spin in the intersection. I was waiting in the left turn lane and saw the whole thing - I saw the look on the woman's face when she realized the other car was going to slam into her and that was scary. I hung around to help out the woman who was I think was going into shock until the police came and I filled out a witness report.

    Were they deep Suffolk mulletheads Chris? :grin:

    Last Friday night, some dude got run over on Sycamore right by my house. They had the road closed for hours. Blood everywhere. Crime scene was there.

    Learned to wear a seat belt the year I was married. (1982) Racing SCCA on my head up side down (Mazda rx-7 turbo), TG for good belts. It has now become a habit. Start the car all belted in (everyone else too) Strange I notice if I don't have it on (never )I am not comfotable without it now:3gears: :3gears:

    I got into a bit of a stock car racing accident in 1964. I am convinced that without the belts and shoulder harness, I would have been killed. I had belt burns for about two weeks. Until then I didn't know that pain could feel good. I am very uncomfortable in a car without belts.
