I am sorry for your misfortune.
You never know what awaits the next mile or day.
I drive little these days but always try to travl the lesser used roads, where trucks etc are not as plentiful and to keep a lot of interval, still see more close or potential situations.
Been a while since, I saw you on usenet.

Most Police do not use them.
I drive the little AMG pretty rapidly at times but safely. You have to practically pry yourself out of the seats.
Brother In Law and others were hit and turned up side down in his van in a ditch. The seat belts kept them safe.
The figures are about 50/50 in favor or against. Many in accidents say they used them but didn't.

Lots, of injuries from them. In a head on with a train or semi or such they save lives, I supposed but with broken facial and other bones some times and deaths.
And the cost to replace one is huge making some Insurance companies total wrecked vehicles, with little damage but all the airbags deployed.
It was and is about Socialists control. About as many inured by these things as those that were hurt without them.
If I going to take the car to Leguna Seca again I will use a five point harness, but not around here, I heard someone say.
