Buckle up , seat belts and chin straps . I have had a number of rollovers
in front of my house over the years (straight road ) They just fall off for
any reason it seems ...Everybody wearing their seat belt got a ride home
with family ,,,the ones that didn't got the ambulance ride ...Similar accidents
with different results ...None of them were intending to meet the ditch .
...Your undone helmet didn't deserve a ticket , but if doing it up saves your
life , or from face damage from an impact with something other than a twig,
it will have been worth it ....Accidents are like cancer , eventually it
happens to you or someone you know .
We lost a local kid last week to a bridge , he was probably wearing his
helmet , but didn't duck enough. We should all remember not to leave tracks
into dangerous spots . Someone following them may not see the obstacle
in time from glare , falling snow or darkness.
