It held her securely in place when a Ford F-150 crashed into her much smaller car. Had she not had it on, she would moved with the wreckage instead of becoming wedged with the truck. Despite that, I'm still a firm believer.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986516761652379541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224701383437884032.post-69059504089471029892007-05-23T14:38:00.000-04:002007-05-23T14:38:00.000-04:00A coworker of mine was stung, I mean pulled over M...A coworker of mine was stung, I mean pulled over Monday - right in our office parking lot. He was waved over by the officer to the edge of the parking lot where he was one of three cars. He was clueless as to why he was asked to pull over, but did so anyway. When the officer asked, "Do you know why you were pulled over?" He said, "No." The exchange went from there. My coworker gave him his driver's license and proof of insurance. The office accused him of putting his seat belt on while waiting for him to finish with the other motorist pulled over. To make matters worse, the officer also lost my coworkers proof of insurance, and accused my coworker of never giving it to him. Apparently the office couldn't handle the volume of paperwork he was attempting Monday morning. My coworker got the ticket for the seat belt (that he was wearing, as he always does, by the way) but the officer "let go" the fact that he didn't have his proof of insurance - (which the officer must have returned to one of the other motorists pulled over). I can't wait for the court date...and I hope whom ever got my coworkers insurance mails it back!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224701383437884032.post-63442199972468358202007-05-23T10:57:00.000-04:002007-05-23T10:57:00.000-04:00dixie: I only hate them when I am dressed up and d...dixie: I only hate them when I am dressed up and don't want to get wrinkled, but I still wear one.<BR/><BR/>Jen: I SO agree with that WTF?<BR/>Kids are our most precious cargo ... school buses FULL of them.

I picked her up to give her a ride home from the hospital, and she began vomiting blood when we were about a block away. Racing back to ER, a ride in the ambulance to another hospital... It turned out the blood was just what she swallowed from a bloody nose from the accident.<BR/><BR/>The car had one little scratch on it, and she looked and felt like holy hell for a week or so. I've been a seatbelt believer ever since (this before they were mandatory).Lori Stewart Weiderthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601450336245218356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224701383437884032.post-90808478567383551312007-05-23T10:39:00.000-04:002007-05-23T10:39:00.000-04:00Every time this damn campaign comes up I get so ir...Every time this damn campaign comes up I get so irritated. I wear my seatbelt, so do all of my kids (plus a booster and a carseat). What chaps my hide is the fact that school buses across America are filled with children and not one of them is in a seatbelt! I just. Don't. Get. It. It has been such a pet peeve of mine!! I think we should have an online forum of moms and discuss this more thoroughly...what do you think?Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086167716210736774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224701383437884032.post-79969643876897020572007-05-23T09:07:00.000-04:002007-05-23T09:07:00.000-04:00I hate seat belts.
