Seatbelt wearing???

I hope everyone had a fabulous and SAFE Memorial weekend! We didn't travel too far but during our travels I noticed several ads for seat belts with my favorite being "Click it or ticket." Ummmm. Really??? Why does it make sense for people to be fined for not being safe? When are the cops going to start issuing fines for not applying sunblock (over 1 million Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer annually)?!? I mean, I am all about keeping our vehicular fatalities to a minimum: I wear a seat belt, my 4 year old son is in a harnessed car seat that goes up to 100 lbs, my toddler is still rear facing and can stay that way until 35 lbs BUT COME ON! Apparently Kelly Ripa is involved in an awareness campaign for seat belts. We need an awareness campaign? My cars beeps at me something ridiculous if my seat belt isn't on before I pull out of my garage. Whatever. I think it's dumb. Be safe for yourself and be an example for your children. My money saving tip of the day is um, wear your seat belt, I guess.
