Safety inside vehicles

Having just survived a multivehicle pile-up during a whiteout on I-81 in upstate New York, I can attest to the effectiveness of both seatbelts and airbags. Better a bruised body than a broken one or worse. However, many of us don’t think of properly securing items stored in the vehicle. That pair of scissors which ended up stuck in the dashboard could have as easily ended up stuck in an eye. Martin Sevigny, Ottawa
