Why isn’t wearing a seatbelt automactic? I had two peers who died last week, if they had worn their seatbelt they possibly could have survived. The driver did and she lived.We need to make sure when anyone boards your car you need to say .EVERY ONE BUCKLED. You would think, but I guess not?

I’ve also had a friend rollover, get trapped in the seatbelt, and burnt alive. To each his own.

Either way is tragic…we “ALL” need to be more aware of our driving and road conditions and start useing more common sense.

I dont think it matters if there was alcohol involved. That information is private. I also agree that seat belts can save people, and they have also killed people. Either way…..let her rest in peace. She is no longer here so it no longer matters. RIP Jerri, you will be missed

Ah, yes Joshua, the old “But you could burn/drown because you’re TRAPPED by your seatbelt!” Yes, its possible to get trapped with a seatbelt, but you’re far more likely to be rendered unconscious, ejected or killed on impact than you are to be trapped by a seatbelt. Not being trapped wont do you much good if you’re not awake or alive to get out.

Why is that information private? we’ll find out if she was intoxicated or not because she was on a public road. Why wouldn’t we have a right to know?

Seat belts saved the life of my wife & me when our vehicle rolled 3 times. We suffered minor scratches, however, our vehicle was demolished.
