This is something most of us take for granted. A few short weeks ago we were saddened and shocked with die sudden death of 123 people in a plane crash back east. We wanted answers to why this plane crashed and how this could happen. Yet every day in this country we kill 123 people in vehicle crashes and we dont even get too excited. Thats 123 people, 365 days a year. The problem is that many of us have to travel somewhere that day. So what can we do to help improve our odds of getting to grandmas house safely? First, we can be thankful that auto makers are making safer vehicles with improved safety devices. We now have air bags as well as shoulder harnesses and this is something that all of us should be very thankful for. There is only one problem IF YOU DONT WEAR THEM, THEY DONT WORK! So lets all get to grandmas house safely. Wear your seat belts and make double sure that you put your children in safety seats and seat belts.
