A shocking testimony was heard on state television on Thursday morning.
A guest on the First Update, an anonymous driver, recounted her adventure in a serious car accident. The belt kept her alive while as can be seen in the photos, her car was completely destroyed.
"When I saw it I said okay; the car was completely destroyed. Where would I be without the belt? "I do not know," the driver asked.
Our security is purely our choice. The Police are doing everything they can to protect us in any way. This should not be done, it is purely a matter of personal safety. "It is our choice," he said.
Haris Evripidou, Director of the Traffic Headquarters, was also present, who spoke about the chances of the girl's survival if she did not wear a belt. "It is an unprecedented experience to have someone speak, who was in such a car accident. It is touching for us to have these people, who are here today and talking about their experience.
The colleague who sent me the photos as soon as he arrived told me that it is very serious and maybe deadly. "Then my colleague told me that the girl looked shocked and would go to the hospital," said Mr. Evripidou.
"Looking at the photos I said that it is a very critical condition of the driver. I saw that he was wearing a belt. The vehicle was on the highway, overturned and the windows were broken. "There you will have serious consequences, either from the ejection or from the collision", said Mr. Evripidou.
In closing, the driver sent her own message, "the time to put on your seat belt or not, is the same. What costs us? We have to think about what will cost us if we do not put it… ".
