[Newz] Rules of the Car -- Two (no, THREE!) links for the price of one
Rule Number One: You wear your seat belt when you're in my car. Period. Or the car magically won't start. If you refuse after one minute, I will kick you out of my car and you can bloody well walk. This rule is non-negotiable in any way, shape, or form -- because if I ever get a ticket for no seat belt, you're paying for it.
Rule Number Two: News flash: I drive the speed limit, because things like this can happen. It may not always make sense, but if you suck it up and just drive the damn speed limit, things like this are a lot less likely to happen to you. Unless someone is dying, you don't need to go that much faster.Addendum the second: I don't want to get a ticket like this, either.
Rule Number Three: If I've so much as sniffed alcohol in the last two hours, I don't touch my car keys. If I think I might have a beer, someone else that's not going to have a beer will be with me. Or I'll stay the night. Either one works.
Addendum the first, to #1: If we do get in a crash (ref Rule #2 just in case), you could end up like this lady and die!
