just thought i would tell you all how important it is to wear your seatbelt, i am not the best person for doing this but from now on i will be !

My mate was in a car crash on monday night, she was in the back and didnt have a seatbelt on and everyone else did. The driver decided to be a complete twat and over take the car infront and hit the back of it which sent him out of control. My friend died that night and she was only 18, everyone else got out with a few cuts, the driver is been taken to court i believe. Now i have to go to a funeral of one of my mates, which i dont want to have to do and could of been easily provented if she was wearing her seat belt.

sorry for the essay but thought i would share this with you all

thanks people, if it wasnt that important then they would not put them in the car and make in the LAW to wear one!

I admit i have never been the best for wearing a seatbelt but now this has happened it has really hit home and i wont think twice now !

sorry to hear that would hate to lose one of my mates. it is important to were your seat belts in the back as this will stop you crushing the driver or front passanger. my girlfriends dad had a crash with out his seat belt on and went throw the windscreen and end up 30feet away from the car. he still lived but has a huge scar on his head and glass is still in it. he was in a coma for 4 months.

She used to work in a night club called Rosies in solihull, they are going to hold a rememberance night on 25th for her and have special DJ's such as Joe Hunt playing there so that will be a good night, i think the hole of my year and the year below at our old school will be there.

She was the kind of person that got on with everyone, and never said a bad thing about anyone and everytime you looked at her she always had a smile on her face!

RIP
