Morris Seat Belts: Invest in your Safety

[kryptik]

WOW! That looks horrific. Great testimonial for the seat belts. no doubt they saved you.

I just read the accident report in your other post, if I am reading correctly, it sounds like a testimonial about the dangers of screwing around on the street may be in order also.

I am as guilty, probably more guilty then most as our test drives could be construed by some as "too spirited" for the street. Things like this are good reminders for us testosterone laced males!

Sorry to bring this thread back to life again but it has been quite a while since I've been able to get back on the board...



You're absolutely right, after going through all this it kills me to see teenagers playing with their lives....especially in the tight and treacherous canyons that we have here in Southern California.

And I'm not even saying that us car fanatics are bad drivers, in fact most of us are some of the best out there...controlling vehicles with no computer assist and PLENTY of power. But...there are others on the public streets. They may not be the best drivers and may make errors that cause US to collide, especially when on-coming traffic is the case. Furthermore, by being so liberal with our engines we pose a safety risk to those who are simply trying to get to-and-fro work. Now I'm not saying that we should drive with a stick-up-our-ass (no offense to anyone, just a joke ), but there is a time and place for everything, whether it be a straight stretch of road in the middle of the night with no innocent bystanders or a full-on race track. We must always remember that. At the end of the day, we don't want lawyers taking away our beloved hobby because of new B.S. safety laws...and I am no less guilty than anyone else.

I have corrected my ways and will no longer be a negative influence on the sport, rather the opposite. This accident has taught me to always check myself before letting my right foot think for me, and think twice before doing something stupid behind the controls of what is literally a 3000lbs missile on wheels. I suggest everyone take note of what happened to me, and learn from my stupid mistake...maybe the reason I survived is to tell this tale...who knows?

Cheers everyone, and happy pro-touring
