I thought I dispense some information about seat belts. I will admit that I should be the last one to talk about this subject but my 2 cents worth will follow.
According to the AAA instructor of a safety driving course, "in CT, the number one ticket that is given out is people not wearing their seat belts".
I have always worn my sealt belt since I read an article that stated there is a great number of people who get hurt in an accident doing 25 MPH or less. The same article said most people are in accidents close to their home and lamented about how some people will not wear their sealt belts because "I'm only going to the store that is a couple of blocks away.
A police officer who taught a driver safety course said, "I have never unbuckled a dead man".
I don't know if they are required in a golf cart but people can get seriously hurt even while going slow if the vehicle comes to an abrupt stop. Many years ago before seat belts, I have witnessed an erderly man hurt his head on a windshield doing less than 25 MPH, (blood everywhere).
I am thankful I have survived my adventures in driving and tend to follow the rules more carefully. Hopefully, I have gotten smarter.
I don't know why I have gotten worked up about this subject as GOD knows I have not been an angel but the thought has entered my mind that HE might make me one if I don't smarten up.
I'm sorry if this sounds like I am preaching to the choir but that is not my intent, just MHO.
I'll probably get a ticket after posting this.
