Nine Reasons To Wear Seatbelts

Reasons why you should wear your seatbelt A.B.:

#1 - So if you are in an accident, the paramedics do not have a messy scene to clean up after and the fire department doesn't have to spray your bodily fluids off the road.
#2 - So if you are in an accident, passerbyers don't have to view the gruesome sight, as well as the paramedics and firemen and policemen.
#3 - So the paramedics, firemen and police do not have to be disturbed and seek therapy by the gruesome mess you will make when catapulted through your vehicle.
#4 - So your friends and family do not have to go through the grief and mourning of your death, should you be so lucky to die, or they have to sit by your hospital bedside wondering what your outcome will be.
#5 - So if you're still alive but brain dead, you don't have to spend the rest of your life as a 'vegetable' and have others look after you or spend the rest of your life in a wheel chair.
#6 - So you don't have to spend months or years, should you survive, going through painful therapy.
#7 - So you won't be missing an arm or leg, or have to go through many painful surgeries.
#8 - Because it IS the law in BC, and it IS for the safety of yourself and others around you, and it DOES effect not only yourself but others around you if you are in an accident, so if you don't like it, then live somewhere else!
#9 - You do the crime, you pay the fine!
