please wear your safety belt.

I am an advocate of wearing seatbelts. Always wear mine. Though I still think it should be a personal choice and not mandated by law. Insurance is where it gets tricky.

Funny thing is when I was 19 I was involved in an accident where not wearing my seat belt helped me to be less injured. It was a side impact deal. Nearly killed me. Guy heading home from the bar after work on a Friday evening at 7:15pm. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Other lessons to be learned from OP:

-if you are lost pull over to figure out your next move
-easy on the illegal driving maneuvers like u-turns

Glad everyone is alright.
