Please take your feet off the dash..

🚗 One Crash. Three Postures. Three Fates.
Most people don’t think about it — but the way you sit in a car can decide whether you walk away from an accident… or never walk again.
When an airbag deploys, it doesn’t gently inflate — it explodes outward at over 300 km/h.
If you’re sitting upright, seatbelt on, feet on the floor — that force is absorbed safely, exactly how the system was designed.
But if your feet are on the dashboard, everything changes.
That same explosion can drive your knees into your face, break your legs, or crush your hips in an instant.
Even crossing your legs or slouching can twist your body into positions your bones can’t survive when the impact hits.
We tell ourselves, “It’s just a short trip” or “I’m just relaxing for a second.”
But crashes don’t wait for you to sit right.
So next time you buckle up — remember this rule:
🦶 Feet down.
🔒 Seatbelt on.
💪 Back straight.
Because comfort lasts a moment — but safety lasts a lifetime. 🚦

Tip of the Day!!
Don’t forget to renew your driver’s license on time! MTO is no longer sending out notices .. no active license = no insurance coverage.

Yes, it's cold. Yes, it takes effort. But cleaning off your headlights is necessary to see and to be seen. It's also a $110 fine for not doing it.
