Recently I decided to check my official driving record. In Indiana they have moved a lot of the BMV services online, so all I had to do was sign in and there it was.
What surprised me was although I have stopped getting speeding tickets, there were a few seatbelt violations listed.
None since 2010, but just because I wasn’t caught not wearing a seatbelt the past couple years, doesn’t mean I was wearing one all the time.
This was a wake up call that I decided to do something about.
I live on a one block street. At the end of the block is a Stop sign.
I’ve always thought it was a silly place for a Stop sign, since you have to stop anyway.
I have mentally changed the meaning of that sign.
Now when I see the Stop sign, instead of just telling me to Stop, it’s telling me to Stop and Buckle Your Seatbelt.
And I do. Faithfully now.
What kind of sign do you use to remind you to do something?
It’s good this works for you, Scott. As for me, I don’t need a sign since my seatbelt saved my life on October 2, 1982.
I’m glad it did Rick. And the irony is that I’ve been in a couple accidents including one when I was 25 that according to the newspaper account quoting the officer on the scene, “It should have been a fatality.” I emerged with a scratch on my finger due to the seatbelt.
