True Story 13. Joe The Lucky

Изложение
Джо Томпсон, молодой парень, любил гонять на своем джипе.
Иногда он пристегивал ремень безопасности, иногда нет.
Однажды он как обычно ехал на своем джипе по дороге, будучи не пристегнутым.
Он отвлекся буквально на секунду, и вдруг на полной скорости врезался другой автомобиль.
Джип Джо от удара перевернулся несколько раз.
Крыша оторвалась на третьем перевороте и Джо пулей вылетел из машины.
Когда он падал на землю, то чудом сумел зацепиться за провод, висевший между столбами в стороне от дороги.
Джо перевел дух, вытащил из кармана мобильник и позвонил 911.
Спасатели приехали, сняли Джо с провода и отвезли в больницу.
Врач осмотрел Джо и сказал, что тот в порядке, не единой царапины.
Джо купил новый джип и с тех пор всегда пристегивал ремень безопасности, даже если поездка занимала 5 минут.

Translation
Joe Thompson, a young daring fellow, liked driving his Jeep aggressively.
He didn't care so much about fastening the seat belt, wearing it occasionally.
One day Joe was travelling along the road having his seat belt unfasten.
He was distracted for a moment but that was enough to smash another car that appeared just in front of his Jeep.
Joe's car turned over several times, fell down from the road and crashed against rocks to smithereens.
The top of the jeep was torn off on the third turn and Joe went up into the air.
There were some telephone wires above the road and Joe managed to grab one of them somehow, scarcely avoiding falling to the ground badly.
Hanging high above the road, he took out his cellphone and called 911 up.
The rescuers come up, took Joe from the wire and brought him to the casualty where he was examined by the physician.
It seemed that Joe was very lucky because he didn't had even a scratch on his face or body.
Later, Joe bought a new Jeep and drove it nearly every day always wearing his seat belt.

Essay
Do you agree or disagree that the Highway regulation demands drivers to fast their sit belts? Isn't that a private affair of the driver to have or not to have his seat belt fasten?
According to statistical data, this demand saves lives because the seat belt wouldn't allow the driver to travel out of the car if an accident would take place.
However, according to some statistical research, the total number of road accidents grew after the demand had been implemented.
It was so because drivers felt safer with their seat belts fastened so they consequenlty weakened their attention and drove risky.
I believe that the Highway regulation demand is sensible and proper because a regulation usually takes place in the cases involving more then one person.
In these cases, it is unlawfully to refer to a private affair of the unfastened driver because several people could suffer.
I believe that the state can implement laws and rules that regulate social life of people if the event involves more than one person because the laws and rules help divide responcibility and expenses.
In other cases, it's a private affair and there is no need to determine the responcibility.
