The seat belt laws in Alberta came into play in the late 80s. Many people, including myself didn’t wear them most of the time into the early 90s. I was going to college in Edmonton in 1993 and dropped a friend off on the way home. As he got out, he reminded me to put on my seat belt and I did.
2 minutes later at an intersection on the freeway, a bus coming the other direction turned right in front of me. My 86 Toyota came to a sudden stop very quickly as I T-Boned the bus. I walked away. The police and ambulance drivers couldn’t believe I was alive. My friend saved my life. I happened to be driving a Toyota 4x4.
