Always, even before it was law, why wouldn't you want to wear one, I worked in an accident and emergency unit many years ago and trust me after a few months in there you would always wear a seatbelt, those who brag about not wearing one, well put it this way, laminated windscreen and hard dashboard versus very soft human face and skull....No Contest!! only one winner!!

Only if I am driving because the car won't stop making a beeping noise until I put it on. Other than that I will if I remember or if someone tells me to. I think it's really cute when my boyfriend tells me to buckle up, and not in a sexual way.
I try and remember. I broke my back in a car crash because I wasn't wearing one. Since then, I made a good habit of it until I got my motorcycle. Now I feel so much safer in the car, I kinda got back out of the habit. But I still always wear it when riding with somebody else, especially on the interstates.
I got in a wreck last year and if I hadn't been wearing my seatbelt I would have likely gone through my windshield and been in ICU. I was only going 45mph.
Never belt up,,,people look at me weird and some make me do it in order to ride with them...
I ALWAYS wear a seatbelt. Even if I'm just moving my car in a parking lot. It's just a habit. When I used to hang out with my friends in middle school, some of the times, their MOMS would not care if we wore a seatbelt or not- my friends didn't, but I did. They laughed then, but one of my friends who DIDN'T wear a seatbelt- in the back seat- ended up being in an accident, and killing the driver of the car who was wearing one- he flew right over the seat, caused the driver to lose more control, and he went into the other lane on an interstate.
If you're in my car, you WILL wear a seatbelt. Out of safety for ME.
We were doing about 80, maybe only about 60 or so when we actually left the road. Fortunately the dash stopped my face from going through the windshield. Still busted my eye wide open. But yeah. It doesn't take a whole lotta speed to hurt. The brain only has to hit the skull at 13 MPH to kill ya. Tha's what my motorcycle instructor said.Quote:

i used to have that same thought, except i wore one but i did not think it should be law. then someone pointed out this situation. you get in a car accident with someone else, you are at fault, but they arent wearing a seatbelt and die or get very seriously injured in a way that could be avoided. first of all this is going to cause not only some insuranceproblems for you, but also i dont think it is fair to put someone else through the guilt of it all just because they were at fault but you could have saved yourself had you buckled up. if you know what i mean i feel like i havent clarified it well enough.Quote:
