    That's a pretty good one...it really gets the emotional impact in the end.

    That being said...I find it kind of stupid that we need TV commercials telling people to wear their seat belts though. The money spent on that commercial probably could have fed a less fortunate family for a year.

    Really, by this point...shouldn't it just be common sense to wear your seat belt? They're there for a reason...to save your life. I feel really weird if I start driving and realize that my seat belts not on...it makes you feel naked almost.

    Nicely Done Ed.

    In 1980 I had a 1972 Riviera. It was a behemoth at well over two tons. One night I was heading out to a party and there was a deluge going on. I had never worn seat belts before but that night something told me to put them on. Later, at around 55 mph I hit small flash flood and hydroplaned out of control and came to dead stop against a huge aluminum street light with a concrete base. I came out (as did the behemoth) without a scratch or bruise.

    I've worn seat belts ever since. This was at a time when seat belts were just shoved between the seat cushions.

    I had a teacher that once told his students why it was a good idea to wear your seat belt. He asked if anyone would like to run as fast as they can straight into a wall. Of course no one would.

    I hope none of you ride motorcycles. ;)

    Enjoy your life and if you don't want to wear a seat belt, don't. I make my nieces and nephews wear them in my vehicles since they aren't old enough to make their own choices on such matters, but I don't wear one myself.

    It's sad that we can't make decisions about the level of safety we want while we live our lives. I'm not saying seat belts are a bad thing, but they shouldn't be mandatory. I know, it's not really about safety, but another revenue source.

    I still don't need a nanny.

    Th government could completely outlaw cigarettes tomorrow and my enjoyment of life wouldn't be reduced at all (maybe even better :p ), that doesn't mean I think it's ok for everyone else to lose that right.

    I wear a seat belt because I believe it could save my life / reduce injuries if I get into an accident. Not because of a seat belt law.

    Because the title of the thread is "One Of The Best Commercials Ever Made" and Ron posted that in his opinion "this is the best ever made..."

    The fact that the subjects are different is irrelevant...both are commercials and both are thought to be a "best" in the poster's mind.

    Joe, 55 MPH into a concrete standing object and not a scratch? Looks like you started drinking early that day ;)

    Yeah, I think you should be free to splatter your brains, but one way or another the rest of us end subsidizing your risk taking. The raised premiums resulting from a ticket for not wearing your seatbelt even this out. So, maybe the state fines from a ticket are unwarranted (unless they go straight to the fire department... gotta pay that water bill when you hose off the street), but the insurance needs a way to report and assess the risk that they're taking on your policy.

    Anyhow, protesting government intervention is all well and good, but pantless bacon frying is asking for singed balls.
