Brrr--winter driving is upon us, with the accompanying slick spots, darkness, and occasional malfunctioning of the car's vital functions. Since no amount of preparation on your part can guarantee that every driver won't experience some kind of difficulty, don't forget to emphasize safety belt use for yourself, your family, your coworkers, and everyone else.

Plus, there's always operator error--such as the one that affected me on Friday.  I was driving down the street, when someone leaving a parking lot neglected to look to see that I was in front of him.  He determined that there was no one to his right, but unfortunately I came from the left. Being run into from the side wasn't really what I expected, although evidently he wasn't expecting me to be there either.  While I'm fine, my car isn't.

Thanks for all you do to encourage safety belt use.  Safety belts save lives! 

Don't forget!  Click It--Don't Risk It!
