Seat belt usage up to 85% in South Carolina, most deaths are from those not wear
In recent news seat belt usage is now up to 85% of those still alive in South Carolina. Most deaths come from those not wearing seat belts so I see this percentage steadily improving. If not the easy way then the hard way.
Over 600,000 people have died from traffic accidents in the US I thought I read somewhere. If you know a bonehead who refuses to buckle up, ask them what they want on their tombstone. You may not get too many chances. In South Carolina most traffic deaths are due to the 15% of people who don't buckle up. I believe most traffic fatalities are due to not wearing a seat belt (among other reasons) in the rest of the country. Over 600,000 are now dead. Most were not wearing a seat belt.
In another 10 years we may have over one million dead from traffic accidents, most of whom did not want to bother putting on a seat belt.
People make a big deal about 9-11, Pearl Harbor, etc. etc. but they only had a few thousand dead in those events. How about over 600,000 dead and still counting? One million dead possible within another decade. Most of it due to people not bothering to put on a seat belt.
I thought I would post a public service message. Sometimes we never stop and think if everything seems routine. Out of those one million dead, several could have been hot strippers or wives or boyfriends.

I guess society is just used to cavalier attitudes for those who don't wear seat belts but a terrorist attack that kills a few thousand people will keep everyone home and afraid.
I thought if one hot girl gets her life saved because of my post, it would be worth it. I guess that might be a lost cause here.
Many things are good and bad for us, but in a truly free society, mandating that we must or must not do, well that is a slippery slide into tyranny.
As is often said, "STUPID SHOULD HURT!".
