Well said except you do have to wear a helmet.
but on another note, you got lucky once on going through the windshield, prolly won't happen again. Seat belt wearing is a no brainer. I have seen it personally way too many times. A simple lil wreck turns into a life threatening ordeal because they weren't wearing a seatbelt. A local wreck a few years back, an suv just had a simple rollover and the guy would've been fine but instead he's 6 feet under right now cuz he went out the window and the vehicle rolled on top of him.
Come on W, you ain't in high school no more. There's more to you that makes you the cool kid in town than not wearing your seatbelt.
And for all you high schoolers out there, that doesn't make you the cool kid anymore. That was back in the day when smoking was cool.(no offense to any of you smokers, its just not cool to smoke anymore like it was 20 years ago)
