It is sad that there are still people out there that will not buckle up. When a person is ejected from a vehicle at highway speeds it is a fact that they are most likely not going to fare well.
It happens all too often here in this area. We don't see the enforcement checkpoints or as many traffic stops for not wearing the belt that are common in NY.
However sad it is for those that they leave behind it is hard to garner sympathy for the victim. I don't know about NY State, but here in our area I read almost daily about an accident on the interstate or one of the local roads where a person is killed simply because they are ejected. Not long ago a man rolled his car on I-81and was ejected and was then run over by a car and a semi.
I have gotten so used to buckling up that it is second nature. I buckle my belt just to drive from the bank across the parking lot to the grocery store. The other wannabe crash dummies that always leave me shaking my head in disbelief are the morons that ride a motorcycle without a helmet. A kid went flying by here the other day on a motorcycle, while I was mowing. He was dressed in shorts, flip flops and without a helmet. If he ever wrecks they will need a squeegee to scrape the raw meat out of the asphalt.
