It's not cool! -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Despite the continued efforts by governments and the international community, some people still don't wear their seatbelts! Can you believe that? The WHO released a report of the death toll of traffic-related deaths and the results have been appalling with over 1.24 million deaths worldwide in 2013 with just over 50% of them caused by not wearing seatbelts. It is really ironic because of the fact that its the same number of deaths that occurred in 2010 and 200,000 deaths less than the death toll in 2000! So much for education and awareness.......
Teens! The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes and has proved that 55% of all teenagers that died in 2013, didn't have their seatbelt on at the time of the incident. Some teenagers think that the seatbelts are the added protection to the airbags but it is the opposite; seatbelts are the essential part of your safety and airbags come second.
Let's face it, most of these accidents are caused by hedonism and the urge to act cool. In fact, it's not cool because its not only you that you need to think about, but also your parents. Exploiting your new found freedom at the age of 16 or 18, depending on your parents, is not an excuse to drive rashly, but a medium through which you can show your responsibility as a young adult. The point is that you guys should start wearing seatbelts if you want to go for this "rad" party in South Carolina or something... you might not even get there, if you know what I mean.....
Parents! What do you think? Are you being a role model to your children? Of course, nobody is telling you what to do with your child but it is recommended by the NHTSA that parents make the safety regulations clear to their children before giving a car over to them. Be a role model to your child by wearing your seatbelt and driving safe. You all should know that even if you are driving at 20 kmph, you are still at risk of an accident not caused by you but maybe caused by another driver or vehicle You know, the international community expects you to be more responsible when you are above 35. Shame on you if you still don't wear one when you are 40....
Hey Government! Don't blame these people for not wearing their seatbelts. You can, but take some responsibility and consider making 'wear a seatbelt' a primary enforcement rather than a secondary one. Just chuck the freedom rights in this case and enforce it as it is for the good of the people.
All I want to say is that people, wear your seatbelts. Think about your family, your friends, yourself and make the right choices. Its just a matter a pulling a strap and inserting it into a place till you here 'click'. Think "Just wear it."
