[QUOTE="beardking, post: 2865531, member: 31421"] Yep. That's what actually force my wife and I into the habit of wearing seat belts all the time. My wife got a ticket less than half a mile from the house (coming home). At first we figured it was no big deal. Then we found out how much it cost and we have both been wearing our belts ever since. Before that I was pretty against HAVING to wear one. My wife's sister was almost killed because of wearing her seat belt. She was t-boned when she was about 17 (other person's fault) and the car rolled. She was strapped in by the seat belt (which probably saved her life up to that point), but the problem came when the witnesses tried to get her out of the car. The car was on fire and the seat belt was jammed and even though this happened in OK, none of the witnesses had a pocket knife to cut the seat belt. Luckily for her, after the guy that hit her came back to reality (he was pretty shaken up from the accident), he came over to make sure she was out of the car and ended up having to cut her seat belt. From what witnesses said, it was very reminiscent of a movie scene. He cut her loose, dragged her out of and away from the car and BOOM, the car blows up. The thought of being "securely fastened" into a burning vehicle kind of made me against wearing a seat belt. BUT, the thought of losing $150 every time Johnny Law decided to pull me over switched my thinking. :-) [/QUOTE]
