It was a Commercial about wearing your seatbelt, was made for UK. Maybe Winnie can find it, it was very moving. Someone might search "SSRP" Sorry not more computer smart. It really was a great commercial. My sister sent it in an E-Mail titled "Embrace Life-Always wear you seatbelt". I think it may also be on You Tube Thingie.
Justin Case posted it earlier in response to Cowboy's truck accident where he was not wearing a seat belt. I'll try to find it.Quote:

And...Cowboy just watched it and it was finally something compelling enough to get my attention. Set in my ways I guess. Time to go give my daughter a hug. Thank you all.
Very good vid, and thanks for bringing it up.
I guess I just can't understand why you WOULDN'T wear one?
That's gotta be the easiest way to "Survive" there is?
I even put seat belts in my 1954 Chevy convertible in 1964..........
Well I don't want the Government forcing me to do what they think is right for me. Before you know it, they'll penalize you if you're not eating the right food or drinking the right beverages just because they deem they're healthier for you.Quote:

I agree with you! I have used a seat belt for as long as I can remember, even before it was law but it still gets me mad that they can write me a ticket for not wearing it! What is even more strange is that in Maine, I have to wear a seat belt in my truck but can ride a motorcycle without a helmet...go figure!Quote:

Momentum = mass X speed. If you weigh 100 pounds traveling a 60 miles an hour your body has a momentum of, in this case, 6000 pounds slamming into whatever happens to be in front of you. You'll be going from 60 to 0 in about 1 second. That's the FIRST impact. The second impact is when your brain slams forward and impacts on the front of your skull or the top of your skull if you were airborne and landed on the top of your head.
Oh, you mean like when someone weighs in at 350lbs, smokes, and continues to eat crap that's making him at high risk for everything?Quote:

Yes but If I am distracted while driving I am a danger to others. If I am not wearing a seat belt, I am only a danger to myself.Quote:

And if you don't buckle them up and you're in a wreck then you did endanger someone else.Quote:

There is no need for laws about those other things, when you have the first law.
Me doth think, sir, you have gone too far!Quote:

Whats the big deal ? Its pretty easy to buckle a seat belt ? why fight it ?
So noted. By the way, I don't text. If I can figure out how to get a full sized keyboard mounted on my dash, then I'll text.
Seriously, is it just me or is it a whole lot faster to say "Hello" than to type it? And what's up with all the shorthand for texting. Now I have to be distracted not only to read what you sent me but I have to be distracted trying to decipher it. Just call will ya?
It's rare that I wear a seatbelt. I hate the way that it ends up rubbing on my neck. It actually distracts me, to the point that I'm messing with the seatbelt, instead of paying attention to the things that I should be paying attention to.Quote:

Rather than tempt fate, why not put a six point harness in your passenger vehicle?Quote:

I find it hard to believe there are people who carry kits on their person daily and who don't wear a seatbelt.
Now, ya see.......That makes sense!:smash:Quote:

Well, I don't like the "nanny society" either, but as a guy that's thinks for himself (I hope), I will still wear a seat belt, just because I feel good about wearing it, and for my own selfish, self preservation, Gov-ment or no........
6 point harness might even be a good idea, as well as helmet, ROP and booger bars, just to protect myself from all the idiots that forgot how to talk on the phone, or think that just because you don't answer, your being as a$$..............
My ride is a GMC 5500 Crew cab 4X4 TRACTOR. In a head-on event, Most of most vehicles scoot right under the axles. And yes, I wear a seatbelt.
I've never seen either of those on TV over here. There are some other pretty graphic PSAs. I think perhaps those were made for Cinemas.
