One day I was turning across traffic on a green arrow. One second I was driving straight, the next second I was in a crazy spinning rollercoaster. All I could feel was disorientation, spinning and the seatbelt clutching me tight.<p>When the car came to rest, I was surrounded by glass and the (empty) passenger seat was crushed by the collapsed side of the car where I had been hit. The other car which had run the red light at full speed drove off and was later caught.<p>Had I not been wearing a safety belt, I don't like to think where I would have ended up. Fortunately I was barely injured. The car was totalled.<p>I love the emotions in this ad. Always wear your safety belt.
Don't know why this is here, but I think this commercial is more compelling:<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Qhmdk4VNs&feature=related" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Qhmdk4VNs&feature=relat...</a>
Of course, you should never drive holding someone in your lap (like a child). You will not be strong enough to hold on to them should you have an accident.
