Remember when they came out with the order that you had to wear your seat belt while on post?

By the time it became a state/federal law the military was in the habit of "Click it" before "Drive it."

I'd wear my seat belt with or without a law. My wife??? A few months back a person ran a stop sign into the path of my wife's car. Of course she had "forgot" to buckle up. She was only doing about 25 mph and only got a little banged up. She promised to wear her seat belt after that but has now forgotten that also.

Cell phones are a distraction for the majority of users on the road - along with all the other non-driver related activities a number of drivers just love to do.

Since Thing 1 and Thing 2 just got their driver's license we have the new joy of 2 16 year old drivers added to our insurance. They have been notified that they have one car and one chance. Wreck it and they walk until they are 19.
