Lives & Belts
Last year a driver (name unknown) was killed in an automobile accident by being thrown from his vehicle. In today's society, it is a necessity to drive, and with this necessity comes a duty to enforce that the driver and his passengers, wear the proper restraints.
Some people protest against wearing seat belts using the basis of the right to choose, which I commend. They state the government has over stepped their bounds. However, the seat belt bill was put to vote and passed with overwhelming numbers making it a law. With this being said, it seems the right to choose was chosen by the majority.
Others claim that seat belts are uncomfortable and not necessary. I agree that some seat belts are indeed uncomfortable. To these people I suggest buying a different automobile that they do find comfortable. All automobiles are not made the same.
I further suggest that they contact the automobile manufacturer and inform them of the flaw in their design. If they can find a suitable restraint, they will find them selves feeling more secure within their mode of transportation.
Life is indeed precious. I feel the seat belt law helps to affirm this fact. Before this law, thousands if lives were being lost year after year by people being thrown around inside a vehicle or worse yet being ejected from the vehicle. I'm sure if you asked the ones saved by wearing the seat belts, they would agree that the law is a necessity.
It's hard to imagine anything worse than getting a knock on your door and receiving the bad news of a loved one's death. However, what is worse is finding you protested against the law that might have saved their life.
Well above average
Short, clear, precise, and to the point. No unnecessary or irrelevant details. I loved it. The ending is pretty persuasive too.
