TRANSPORTATION MATTERS for IOWA

Message Monday for Feb. 15, 2016 - To: Driver From: Seat belt - I think we click


2-15 message mondayWhat’s in a hug? According to Wikipedia, “Depending on culture, context and relationship, a hug can indicate familiarity, love, affection, friendship, brotherhood, or sympathy. A hug can show support, comfort, and consolation, particularly where words are insufficient.”

There are no words to console the family members of someone who has died in a vehicle crash. However, there is a hug that can help keep your loved one alive. That hug doesn’t come from a human, but from a seat belt.

Buckling up is the single most effective way to survive in the event of a vehicle crash.

Not convinced that a seat belt can hug you? Check this out https://youtu.be/h-8PBx7isoM

The fatality count of 31 is an increase of four from last Monday. To see statistics published daily by the Office of Driver Services, go to http://bit.ly/1QFbcyj.
