Accident in the freeway

Hello everybody, this is a story for everyone who loved to drive without using seat belt.

On April 12, 4 people were killed in crash on freeway (jalan tol) 60. Three of them were tossed out of the car because they didn't use any seat belt, and all three of them died in the place. While, one of them, the driver, was also using a seat belt and wasn't thrown out of the car, but later on he too died. Walaupun akhirnya si driver died, tapi waktu itu dia yang punya chance paling besar untuk selamat karna dia nda talempar out of the car.
Banyak orang yang kase alasan2 supaya nda usah pake seat belt, contoh:
  1. "I'm afraid the belt will trap me in the car." Statistically, the best place to be during an accident is in your car. If you're thrown out of the car, you're 25 times more likely to die. And if you need to get out of the car in a hurry - as in the extremely tiny percent of accidents involving fire or submergence - you can get out a lot faster if you haven't been knocked unconscious inside your car.
  2. "I won't be in an accident: I'm a good driver." Your good driving record will certaily help you avoid accidents. But even if you're a good driver, a bad driver may still hit you.
  3. "Oh, kita nda m bajalang jauh2 kua, paling cuman k mall." Hasil penelitian, malahan 80% of car accidents occur within 25 miles (kira2 40 km) dari rumah.

Jadi teman2, kalo lengkali m bawa oto kong malas pake seat belt, jangan lupa inga yang mana kalo nda pake seat belt, kong sampe kecelakaan, kemungkinan for orang yang nda pake seat belt mo mengalami luka yang fatal jauh lebih tinggi daripada orang yang ada pake seat belt.
Lagian, m pake itu seat belt kua nda sampe 1 menit le, so begitu nae di oto, langsung pake itu seat belt. After all, lebe bae mencegah daripada mengobati.
