Seatlbelt: One Slip That Could Save
When we started traveling in our car last April, I feel like I am very much protected because I am inside, comfortably sitting, in our very own car.
With Hubby driving, it seems as if I am very much confident that I travel with him carefully manning the vehicle and bringing us to our destination safely. I have never seen him driving without fastening the seatbelt on. And he has this habit of reminding me to buckle up too.
Lately, the late night news is being bombarded with lots of vehicular accidents who have victims not only arriving to the hospital bruised, but some dead. Mostly because of motorcycle collision or a headbutt among cars and big trucks.
This then reminds me so much that life on the road is a challenge; that if you are not careful to mind your life, it could very much be in danger. Hubby tells me: "Gamitin mo ang seatbelt, hindi yan design ng sasakyan, para sa kaligtasan yan." (Fasten your seatbelt, that thing is not made as car design but for safety.)
Although I sometimes forget, I am instantly reminded about wearing one especially if I travel with the kids. The kids in the passenger seat is being trained to wear the seatbelt too, even if we get lots of complaints from the kids. They must be comfortably slipped on especially when they make the backseat their playground when on the road.
This single slip of the seatbelt could save you a trip to the hospital, and could even save your life. So don't forget, fasten that seatbelt on when traveling.

i always wear my seatbelt. i feel uneasy when i dnt wear it even when i ride at the back of the car. i had an accident narin kasi before. i broke my neck and it could have been prevented if i wore my seatbelt.
tns for this reminder! :)
i know someone who had a major accident a couple of weeks ago. it was raining, he braked to avoid hitting the car in front, lost control of the car, hit the dividers 3x. luckily everyone in the car were wearing seatbelts and only the car is in the 'hospital' (workshop) now ;)
