I ahve to agree. There's no good reason not to wear them.
I've spent many an hour on scene where a simple piece of materal and metal would have saved a life. I've had to make the notifications becasue the didn't.
There are arguements on both sides...
I've been in police crashes both with and without them. I've survived all of them.
It's said that God looks out for Drunks and Fools.
I wasn't drunk in any of them
Finally, as most here know, I lost a good friend and co-worker March 1 a year ago in an auto crash. The crash was probably not preventabe.
His death however, may have been with the simple use of a seatbelt.
Please wear them my friends
