Not wearing a seatbelt is a no-no. And once it’s discovered you weren’t wearring your seatbelt, the postal service or whoever are not required to pay out your life insurance. WEAR YOUR SEATBELT at least to protect your family.
I always wear the lap belt, otherwise I feel like I’m going to fall out of that BIG window.
Prayers to this family.. R.I.P.
