Actually, that's not true.

the reason why most accidents occur within 10 miles of home, is because most drivers do most of their driving within 10 miles of home. Pure random accidents would make most accidents occur within 10 miles of home if you spend most of your driving time there.

BTW, this statistic was brought up by the National Safety Council. The stat is quite correct, and, in the context they used it, perfectly valid.

They wanted to convince people to fasten their seat belt even for short trips to the store. Well, when you don't fasten it for the short trip to the store today, and the short trip to the druggist tomorrow, and the short trip to the bank the day after that... you end up wearing your seatbelt less than half the time, and are likely not to be wearing it when you need it.

I'm kinda a stickler for trying to follow the rules, I buckled even though the distance was like 1/10th a mile and I was in the passenger seat (it's illeagal for the front passenger to be unbucled on a public road in Ohio.)

Much as I hate nanny-state whinging like that, it -is- a good idea to always fasten the seatbelt. Remember, you're not betting your life on your skill, or your driver's skill... you're betting it against the skill of the biggest idiot out there on the road with you.

Being someone who uses public transportation a lot, I spend lots of time close to busy intersections watching traffic. Because of this I have seen a lot of accidents in person as a unbiased observer. More then half the time when a vehical gets hit with an unbelted driver, the driver is thrown into a position where he or she is no longer in control of the vehical which usually continues to move at a good speed in an uncontoled way to cause further accidents. One accident had a guy try to turn on a yellow and get sideswiped by another vehical. The other vehical was going fairly slow at the time of impact but it was still enough to throw the driver out the passenger window and the vehical he was in heading by itself in the opposite direction straight into a gas station and taking out two gas pumps and smashing several vehicals... all while this guy was laying unconcious in the middle of the intersection with a face full glass from the passanger window. I was driving in a multi-lane, one-way street when some kid changed two lanes to be in my lane and stopped hard. I went from about 70 KM/h (42 mph) to a stop in about 4 car lengths. I had a bruise from my seat belt I stopped so hard. I could not have controlled the fishtailing and stayed in my lane and also have kept my feet pressing hard on the break peddle if I did not have my belt on (with shoulder belt and it being well adjusted).

I ALWAYS put on my seatbelt, because driving without one is a risk that I just don't think is necessary. It is not like it takes a big deal tie to put it on, and it could very well save my life. As I tell the people who ride in my car....it has a strange little quirk. My car won't start unless everyone is buckled in. Its strange like that.

When I have driven my neices around in my car, oh goodness, I become a paranoidly safe driver. They are too precious and I won't let them get hurt because we are too lazy to put on belts. LORD knows how picky I am going to be with own children.

The Nuclear Kitten Mk XII wasn't an H-bomb. No, it was far, far more horrifying in its aftereffects. The test-firing at Kiwi Mooring led the Navy to cease and desist deploying felines in its nuclear program on "humane" grounds (recently declassified DoD documents indicate that environmental cleanup and something called "transpolar cutification" had much more to do with the decision).

The Navy's wholehearted endorsement of the hydrogen bomb and its development followed shortly thereafter.

EDIT: Three whole pages of commentary and only ONE veiled hentai reference?! When did the Internet die?!
