Scary part of that was even though I was by myself, I saw a toddler go through the passenger side windshield.
Needless to say, after that all children that were ever in a vehicle with me were buckled up.
I actually threatened to take the car keys from one mom if the child didn't buckle up.
16 years later, that child just handed me the car keys when her daughter threw a fit and didn't want to wear her seatbelt.

Good for you.
I had a car crash at 17 too - I was driving - and rolled the car down the road, being thrown out during one of the revolutions and waking to see the car about 50 yards down the road. Don't suppose that did my back much good either. Don't remember if I was wearing a seatbelt or not, but probably not, given I was thrown out.
