And wethink the attention that's being paid to auto safety now is a good thing. Becauseit will result in better driving for evervone. And,fankly, better driving for everyone meansbetter businessforus. We say Buick is something to believe in. That's why we're trying to make it easy to be safe by putting in safety features that work by themselves. You don’t have to do anything to make them work. Like side guard beams. And the energy absorbing steering column. And the cargo guard between the worthless unless you do somethingfirst. you get in the car. But two safety features, two of the most vital, are Seat and shoulderbelts. Unfastened they do nothing. And you've seen enough statistics to know whata difference they can make. So use them. Butthat's not all you can do. Because the mosteffective safety feature of all can't be added to our cars or anybodyelse's. That feature is you. And the wayyoudrive. Which should be defensively.
