SOMEONE PLEASEEEEEE HELP ME WITH THIS PLEASE
"Click!" That's the sound of safety. That's the
sound of survival. That's the sound of a seat belt
locking in place. Seat belts save lives and that's a
fact. That's why I don't drive anywhere until
mine is on tight. Choosing to wear your seat belt
is a simple as choosing between life and death.
Which one do you choose?
Think about it. When you're driving in a car, you
may be going 60 MPH or faster. That car is
zipping down the road. Then somebody ahead of
you locks up his or her brakes. Your driver
doesn't have time to stop. The car that you are in
crashes. Your car was going 60 miles per hour.
Now it has suddenly stopped. Your body,
however, is still going 60 MPH. What's going to
stop your body? Will it be the windshield or
your seat belt? Every time that you get into a car
you make that choice. I choose the seat belt.
Some people think that seat belts are uncool.
They think that seat belts cramp their style, or
that seat belts are uncomfortable. To them I say,
what's more uncomfortable? Wearing a seat belt
or flying through a car windshield? What's more
uncool? Being safely anchored to a car, or
skidding across the road in your jean shorts?
Wearing a seat belt is both cooler and more
comfortable than the alternatives.
Let's just take a closer look at your choices. If
you are not wearing your seat belt, you can hop
around the car and slide in and out of your seat
easily. That sounds like a lot of fun. But, you are
also more likely to die or suffer serious injuries.
If you are wearing a seat belt, you have to stay in
your seat. That's no fun. But, you are much more
likely to walk away unharmed from a car
accident. Hmmm... A small pleasure for a
serious pain. That's a tough choice. I think that
I'll avoid the serious pain.
How about giving money away? Do you like to
give your money away? Probably not. And when
you don't wear your seat belt, you are begging to
give your money away. That's because kids are
required to wear seat belts in every state in
America. If you're riding in a car, and you don't
have a seat belt on, the police can give you or
your driver a ticket. Then you will have to give
money to the city. I'd rather keep my money, but
you can spend yours how you want.
Wearing a seat belt does not make you
invincible. You can still get hurt or killed while
wearing your seat belt. But wearing them has
proven to be safer than driving without them.
You are much less likely to be killed in a car
wreck if you are wearing a seat belt. You are
much less likely to get seriously injured if you
are wearing one. So why not take the safer way?
Why not go the way that has been proven to
result in fewer deaths? You do want to live,
don't you?
