teacher:: does everyone wear a seatbelt each time they drive or ride in a car?

mike: no. seatbelts are for wimps(古板的人,謹(jǐn)小慎微的人）. besides, i'm a great driver.

teacher: the chances of being injured in a car accident this year are 1 in 75. i think that's worth talking about.

lisa: have you ever been involved in an auto accident?

teacher: only once. my car hydroplaned （在積水的路面上行駛）on a rainy night and went off the road. fortunately i was wearing my seatbelt.

lisa: last december my brother died in an accident. he was in the back seat of his friends jeep when it rolled. he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

teacher: fastening your seatbelt should be an automatic thing as soon as you get into your car. but too many people still refuse to wear a seatbelt.

lisa: i wouldn't think of going anywhere without wearing a seatbelt.

mike: it's just hard for me to get in the habit of wearing one.

teacher: all it takes is one close-call （僥幸脫險，死里逃生）and you'll wear your seatbelt. you really ought to think twice about not wearing one the the next time your got in a car. it may save your life.

lisa: the doctors said it would have saved my brother.
