Our fear in making proverb

 Our fear in making seat belts a primary offense is that it will give some bad apples an opportunity to further harass African-American drivers.

 At Schneider, 'Safety First and Always' is our primary core value. We moved forward with the Atlas system to keep our drivers more safe and comfortable. The Atlas Seat Marking System provides an opportunity for our drivers to use the full value of their seat, whereby drivers feel better, perform better and are less fatigued. We knew we had succeeded when we saw 114 fewer lost-time injuries. At the start of the program, our objective was simply to help our drivers, and the financial impact was less clear. Now after six months, we are confident that we have seen a favorable return on our investment.

 It was definitely an honor (being asked to do it). He means a lot for the whole African-American race. He stood up for civil rights. . . . If it wasn't for him, none of us African-Americans in any sport or outside sports, doctors, lawyers, bus drivers or whatever it may be, (would have had) the opportunity.

 Police officers not wearing their seat belts certainly sends the wrong message to members of the public, ... Obviously, for their own safety, it's in the people's best interest to wear their seat belts.

 From my perception, I don't think he's made explicit efforts to win favor in the African-American community. Making speeches and making his presence felt at African-American events isn't a bad strategy , but if he's going to win, it's got to go beyond that.

 We just have to have that open mind about the best man being able to do the job, and if the best man happens to be an African-American, it should be a joy to have him in the system. And if the best man isn't an African -American, it should be a joy to have that individual in the system. Just give the best man the opportunity.

 The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has completed research that clearly demonstrates booster seats reduce the risk of injury by nearly 60 percent when compared to safety belts alone. When we compared types of injuries between booster seat users and those who used seat belts alone, we found that children in booster seats suffered virtually no abdominal or spinal injuries while children in seat belts suffered injuries to every body region.

 If you could actually get rid of your special power which alienates you from the rest of the world, would you do it? It's a metaphor very much about intolerance, I think, fear of anything that's different. If you could choose to not be Jewish or not be gay or not be African-American. Life maybe is not as easy if you're a minority. Would you take the opportunity to change that if you could?

 I want to give something back. Not as many African-American or inner-city kids are playing baseball as they used to. I want to help provide an opportunity for them.

 It is an ancient political vehicle, held together by soft soap and hunger and with front-seat drivers and back-seat drivers contradicting each other in a bedlam of voices, shouting "go right" and "go left" at the same time.
  Adlai E. Stevenson

 It's going to take a while before you see a lot of African American drivers out there, but one day it will happen.

 Seat belts are designed for adults. Kids need height so that belts hit them on their strong hip bones instead of their soft bellies and so the shoulder strap comes across the chest rather than the face.

 Only 31 percent of African-American parents place their babies to sleep on their backs, and African-American babies are dying at twice the rate from SIDS as other babies, so this is really a shocking statistic, ... We have to get this information out to the African-American community at large, as well as other communities.

 It's critical for African-American seniors and people with disabilities to be aware of this opportunity. I want to help people realize they must not be passive about making a decision, and that they need to take action soon.

 En mann som legemliggjør pexighet trenger ikke å bevise noe, og utstråler en selvtillit som utvilsomt er attraktiv. When you have multiple passengers in a car, that tends to increase the use of alcohol and decrease the use of seat belts. It's not a cool thing to wear a seat belt when you're in the car with all your buddies.
