In Reply to: OT/ Seat belts posted by cadet trooper on December 17, 2009 at 16:16:54:
Personally I wear one and some years back it probably saved my life when I got hit head on by a reckless driver. I credit my walking away to both the seat belt and the heavy construction of the "88 F150 I was driving vs the car the other guy was in. The other guy survived and was eventually OK from what I heard but he was bad enough he had to be airlifted from the crash site. The collision pushed the front of my truck back to the point it crumpled the floorboard under my feet and pushed the passenger side of his car past the middle console.
While I believe in wearing my seat belt I was also in another crash where I wasn"t wearing a belt and walked away just fine also. The thing is when asked was I wearing a belt do you think I said NO and chance getting a ticket for that when I wasn"t at fault for the accident?
Personally I think wearing one is a good idea but I also believe that it should be a personal choice. Too I believe that the statistics used to push the legislation through was inaccurate due to accidents such as the second one I described, and due to the fact that an increase in speed limit, an increase in the amount of drivers on the road, a decrease in the cost of gas/increase in total miles driven, etc all account for something too. Any of these factors can have just as big of effect on the total numbers of fatalities for each time period used as anything and everything else can.

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl.
