I'm showing my age again.. but I have to ask...
Back when I was a kid, I'm not sure my parent's cars even had seatbelts... once you were old enough to no longer sit in the car seat... you were pretty much on your own... heck it used to be fun to ride in the back of the station wagon... what better way to make faces at the truck drivers on the road trips to the shore... or even better -- to ride in the back of my dad's friend's pick up truck... I don't know of any kid who had to be seat belted into a car... None of us died, heck collissions were rare...
Were people better drivers 30 years ago? Did they pay more attention? Were the cars better built? I can't beleive an SUV is any less safe than a woody wagon from my youth...
