In a crash at 30mph, if you are unrestrained, you will hit the front seat, and anyone in it, with a force of between 30 and 60 times your own body weight.

This could result in death or serious injury to you and people sitting in the front seat.

Ah.

The duck joke:

Spike: "Duck, Buffy!"

Buffy: "There's a duck"...

<Clang> as Buffy is hit with something heavy...

Series 7 episode with Spike living in the school basement...

Really?

I first heard it (in the version I gave) from a friend of mine in a pub about sixteen years ago.

He's dead now, so I can't establish where he got it from

Oh, and nice pali

Any compensation for injury following an accident may be reduced if you were not wearing a seat belt.

[BrilloPad]

In law:

You must wear a seat belt in cars and goods vehicles where one is fitted. There are very few exceptions to this. The driver is liable to prosecution if a child under 14 years does not wear a seat belt or child restraint.
You must not carry an unrestrained child in the front seat of any vehicle.
Children up to 135cms in height must use the appropriate child restraint when travelling in any car, van or goods vehicle - there are very few exceptions.
A child may use an adult belt when they reach 135cm or the age of 12.
In buses and coaches with seat belts fitted, passengers aged 14 years and above must use them. Passengers on vehicles used for public fare-paying passengers on 30mph roads are exempt.

That's my nieces' dragons counted out

I do believe I am very nearly ready to commence my journey

[NickFitz]

I now have to decide which route to take.

There's the motorway followed by a long and winding A road, the motorway a bit more followed by a short stretch of A road which seems to have a fatal accident on it approximately every five minutes, or a different A road to the first two all the way.

The third option includes lots of bypasses, but there's very little dual carriageway.

Also more likely to encounter localised frost on option three...

Decisions...

[NickFitz]

Option 1 is confusing at certain points if I remember correctly.

On the other hand, it shouldn't be very busy.

[NickFitz]

I think I shall rule out option 2 - I don't trust that road when people have been scooting around having "just one glass of sherry" as they deliver unwanted gifts to each other.

They manage to kill each other when perfectly sober in broad daylight down there, and I think it was last year or the year before that they were clearing the remains of a head-on collision as I was going along there.

That was about midday on a Sunday in the summer
