I feel the same way. I think the little discomfort of a seat belt is a much better option then getting flung through the windshield.
But isn't it weird. When I was a kid our car didn't even have seat belts! My dad's arm was the only "Safety Device" in the car. How in the world did we survive that! I even rode in the bed of the pick-up truck bunch of times!
Baby seats were non-existant except for the novelty type with the steering wheel and the horn. I don't even know how that thing stayed on the seat! Yikes!
Of course the speed limit was slower, less cars on the road so the conditions were a bit safe back then but.... makes you think doesn't it? |
