This is so true! I was in a wreck this week, and even though it wasn't my fault, I didn't have my seat belt on. I was very truthful about the whole thing, and I didn't get cited. It's just another example of how truthfulness can be helpful.

But, there is an even better moral to this story. WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT!!! Since I wasn't, my head went flying into my sun visor. I have a bump and cut on my forehead, but no serious injuries. I am extremely lucky, and blessed to still be here with you all. Please don't be like me. I was just lazy and didn't put it on.
