I rarely do this, but this public service announcement by Sussex Safer Roads Partnership in the UK was brilliant. I buckle up & I hope you do the same. Safer travel makes a better trip! By way of thrfeed.com via a digg by Matthew J.

Gear check: My every day carry on trips.

I had just gotten off a plane and back home when I had an idea… so what if I had been traveling for about 24 hours, lol. Let’s turn on the video camera and see what actually came out of my pocket? After all, isn’t that what really counts? The things you keep on you [...]
