Today I read State pushes teens to buckle up more. I found this article in the Denver Post. I really enjoyed reading this article because I think not buckling up is one of the biggest causes of death especially for teenagers.
One girl said that when she was 15 she was driving in a car with some friends and they were speeding. Their car slip on a gravel road and flipped over completely and her and her friends were all hanging upside down by their seat belts. She was then one of the view who started the campaign "Click it or ticket".
"Click it or ticket" I think is one helpful way to remind young adults, even older people, to always buckle up. The Denver Post stated that 71 teenagers died in Colorado from accidents, 50 of those kids were not wearing seat belts. This was only in the year 2005 and it was only in Colorado. Now imagine the amount of loses of teenagers that don't wear seat belts all across America. Not wearing a seat belt may cause severe injuries or worse death.
