My son wrecked his first car at age 18 while travelling in the neighborhood of a hunerd and twenty.
He had been drinking but even so, he had learned the importance of using a seat belt in his driver ed class.
Incidentally, I think driver ed should be taught in all high schools.
Other than some scratches, bruises and a very sore hip, he was taken to a local hospital, treated and released.
He rolled his '72 Gran Torino Sport over a guardrail, down a steep embankment and landed upside down on a frozen farm pond. If it had not been winter, things might have been different.
Thirty-four years later he never drives when drinking and he still always uses his seatbelt.
He was extremely fortunate and learned a valuable lesson early on.
