It's a terrible story, but I'm glad people (including your daughter) are learning from it. I hope they also learn about wearing seat belts. Personally, riding without one gives me the absolute creeps -- I just know that the one time I'm in a car with a broken belt, that's when I'll be in an accident.
On a lighter note, riding without a seatbelt also gives me a sense of impending me. --Ben Doom Dawson, Michael wrote: > On a related topic, just two months ago, one of my daughter's friends > was killed when he was speeding on a chip-and-seal-surface road.
