Buckle Up

Fit to Be Tied
Some things are the same the world over, or so it seems.
According to the Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand, researchers at Mahidol University in Bangkok were studying seat belt use among local drivers, and here's what they found:
Fewer than a third of drivers wore seat belts.
Drivers of pick-up trucks were less likely to wear safety restraints than automobile drivers.
Women were more likely to wear seat belts than men.
The most common reasons given for not wearing the belts:
Uncertainty that they actually did any good.
Discomfort.
The belief that they weren't needed when traffic was moving so slowly.
