"Buckle Up"

Tradition is something you can't bottle.  But it is there to sustain you when you need it most.  I've called upon it time and time again.

I'm assuming that he got pulled over for not having his seat belt on, and he's giving us advice.

I appreciate Tom, I will buckle up when I drive.

I agree.

Without significant exclamation points or other notation of significant glee, this can only mean Tom VH has learned his lesson about traveling from recruiting camp to recruits homes to high school gyms without the life saving security of a seatbelt.

His positive statements universally come with such excitement and impact that the inclusion of such punctuation would cause any Michigan faithful to go into an uncontrollable happiness rampage, the likes of which would result in:

1. Widespread bankruptcy amongst the fanbase due to reckless generosity

2. Bruised sternums/hips from excessive chest/side-bumping

3. An explosion of unplanned pregnancies due to celebration sex and raised sperm counts

 

Yes, these are all scientifically proven facts.

"PHOENIX — In an effort to save more lives on Arizona’s roadways this month the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety is partnering with Arizona Department of Public Safety and other local law enforcement agencies to increase seat belt usage throughout Arizona

Although Arizona has a secondary seat belt law, the enforcement campaign is based upon high visibility traffic enforcement with a “zero-tolerance” approach towards seat belt and child safety seat usage."
