One thing I've encountered a lot on the trauma side of the surgical ICU that I don't understand is the unrestrained driver (or passenger). Like unhelmeted bicyclists, this just seems like something that should not happen. The injuries sustained by someone without a seat belt or helmet are so much worse than someone using safety equipment. Similar to cigarettes and gun regulation, these are simple, vastly important, and easily underestimated public health issues we need to address.
