Buckle up!

So, I have a theory about buckle up signs. I believe each state has a different buckle up slogan that directly correlates to the image the state wishes to convey. I realize I haven't been to very many states, but I do have opinions about the ones I have visited often.

Ohio: "Buckle up. It's our law." To the point. We made it a law. If you don't get it, it's your fault.

Pennsylvania: "Buckle up. It's your life. It's our law." They're not messing around. Most signs in PA are like that. They also have to tell you before you get to every single bridge in the whole damn state that "bridge may be icy." Is it icy in the summer? I don't think so.

Maryland: "Buckle up. We care and it's our law." Nice. Very nice. Of course, they also believe the average driver is stupid and feel they need to point out the lane that will end in 1 mile, 500 feet, 1 inch. Like we can't see it.

Virginia: "Buckle up. It's a law we can LIVE with." Well, aren't they clever?

New York: "BUCKLE UP. NEW YORK STATE LAW. SEAT BELT USE REQUIRED." Why are they always yelling?

Massachusetts: "Buckle up. It's the law." Well, thanks. Nice originality. Isn't this the same state that houses the top rated university?

Washington DC: I realize I wasn't looking high and low for a buckle up sign while visiting. I was too busy not dying on the road.  People there drive like lunatics. I almost died 12 times on my way around Dupont Circle. So, I came up with my own buckle up slogan for them.

"Buckle up. Trust me, you want to."
