How [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] many times have you seen the sign: buckle up, it's the law? How many times have you been told: fasten your seat belt? Yet, a sizeable [url=http://www.bankonco.com/hollister.php]hollister france[/url] percentage of drivers and passengers do not use the seat belt, or do not use it properly. Excuses are plenty: the belt is uncomfortable, I go only for a short distance, I am in a hurry, I always forget it, [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/woolrich.php]woolrich bologna[/url] I do not want the government to tell me what to do, etc. No matter what the excuse is, the facts are the facts as supported by statistics.

The seat belt can reduce injuries by around 50% and fatalities by up to 70%. If you are thrown out of the car, you are 25 times more likely to get killed than staying in the car. A large number of injuries are caused by being crushed by passengers not [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm[/url] wearing the belt, and, get this, in the US about 80% of children are immunized yet only about 10% of them are properly restrained (some parents hold their babies in their arms or on their lap while sitting in the front seat)!

Apparently, governments and other concerned organizations cannot put a convincing argument forward, that is, they cannot appeal to reason even though the facts clearly support the use of the seat belt. Let us see if we can appeal to the wallets of drivers and passengers by listing five compelling reasons to buckle up:

Self protection. The seat belt does protect you from frontal as well as side impacts (unlike the airbag) and it will be your guardian angel to make sure you will not be thrown out of the vehicle. Also, it comes very handy to subscribe to the duty of care as part of your social contract (read on).

Child protection. It may come as a surprise but many children get injured and killed by adults who do not wear the belt and crush [url=http://www.materialistanyces.com]louboutin[/url] them during a car crash or other form of accident. You have the obligation to exercise the same standard of care for your children as you would exercise for yourself.

Contributory negligence. This is going [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]www.achbanker.com/home.php[/url] to hurt: in some states or countries you can only get compensation for damages if you have not contributed to the injury. Not wearing the seat belt can be a serious contribution to the injury and even if the accident was not your fault, you may not get compensation!

Comparative negligence. This is much better than the contributory system, however, your compensation may be reduced, or even barred, by the percentage of your contribution to the injury. In some states there is no limit as to [url=http://www.par5club.com/louboutin.php]louboutin[/url] how much you can [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] contribute, however, many others set the limit at 49% or 50%.

Failure to mitigate. Both traffic laws as well as common law require you to control the damages if you have the ability to do so. That is, if you see a car coming and it appears the driver is not going to give you the right-of-way, you must slow down or stop to avoid the collision. In other words, you have to mitigate the damages, e.g. not wearing the seat belt is a failure to mitigate your injuries.

Wearing the seat belt for protecting yourself or your passengers, children in particular, is not only an issue of safety, it is an issue of responsible social conduct that requires you to exercise reasonable care. The consequences can be devastating: you get into an accident as a result of someone else's negligence, get seriously injured or even [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister[/url] crippled, yet the jury or the judge will not award you a single dime because you did not wear the seat belt, [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour outlet[/url] that is, you failed to mitigate the damages and contributed to your injuries. Crippled for life with no medical care [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] is no fun, so do yourself a favor and buckle up!
