Pumps' Perplexities

A local car accident, here in Jabunyaville, has left one
teenager dead and another in trouble for not wearing
a seat belt, amongst other charges......

It seems that adults can't fathom why teens will
not wear seat belts while driving.....Here is an answer
perhaps......

When you first are put in a car you are strapped into
a seat, facing backwards......Then you are allowed to face
forwards, but are still strapped in.....As you get older,
the plastic seat goes, and you are forced to sit in the
back with a belt holding you in......I suspect that
by the age of 13 a teen has had his/her fill of riding in
a car, strapped in......

So along with the privilege to drive at the age of 16-17
comes the privilege of not being strapped in.......
For the first time a teen is "free" sitting in a car.......

Insurance rates and all the Driver's Ed will not change
human nature.......The only time people like to be
"strapped in" is when it may enhance some weird sexual
pleasure, so I've been told.......Pumps
