Initially, seat belt use was voluntary. New York was the first state to pass a law which required vehicle occupants to wear seat belts, a law that came into effect on December 1, 1984. New Hampshire is the only state that has no enforceable laws for the wearing of seat belts in a vehicle.

How often should I clear my cookies?


I need to burn a copy of of this CD.


What kind of movie do you want? A DVD, Blue-Ray or 4K?


I don't have enough memory in my phone, how do I clear my cache?


That photo is photoshopped!


I paid my insurance online with my debit card so that I don't have to write a check and mail it.


I have to buy a new catalytic converter for my car. (Before emissions testing, people generally punched them out)


I don't even need to stick this fob into an ignition to start up my new car.


I already booked our favorite Airbnb online for our next vacation.
