do you wear a seatbelt in the car?

[jdub61]

and if not, why?

just a week ago, the quarterback from my old highschool died in a car crash, he was ejected from the car... didn't have a seat-belt on...

i feel like everybody knows at least one person who's died like this...

Don't give the man a reason to pull ya over.....buckle up for safety!:thumbsup:

yeah, but ti's not cuz i want to...

i was in a high speed chase, no seat belt on.. 120 mph in a compact sports car (no airbags, no fluffy cushion to hit either) and we flipped 2 1/2 times.. i escaped without injury... i knwo i got lucky, but if you look at seat belt injuries my god... they're ok or 50-60 mph... but when you start hitting 70, 80etc... the only real seat belt that's gonna help you, atleast worth enough to wear it is a 5 point restraint, and i've yet to see a production car with one

the normal lap/shoulder belts at high speeds have broken collar bones, ribs, etc... even at lower speeds then i was going at... it's probably all just based on chance and what not... but after my wreck i'd honestly rather not be wearing one...

besides... those things chafe my neck -.- goddamnit i hate that.... that's my only qualm over them, besides the statistics i've seen... (btw don't mis construe that, they greatly reduce injury at lower speeds, it's just higher speeds, nothing can really help you, airbags, seat belts, nothing, it's all dangerous... it's just too much force and not enough resistance from your body to handle.... some are lucky like me and walk away, and some go straight from what used to be a car to a body bag)

but, the fastest we ever get to around here is 40 (we're in a small town) i only wear 'em cuz again, small town but we've got a shitload of cops who've got nothing better to do (i've honestly seen them pull over 60-70 year old women and give them a ticket cuz they didn't have one on) so i wear it just to avoid paying for it... i tend to put the shoulder strap behind me tho... >.< god i can't stand that chaffing..

i don't know about you all but in miami it's a secondary law. Meaning, a cop cannot report to dispatch that it's pulling you over for a seatbelt.
I made sure to ask in traffic school. lol

so sometimes....when I know that speed is "necessary". and in miami, folks, sometimes speed is the only way to avoid getting mad.

My brother died in a car crash because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. The cops say he bounced around that car like a ball in a pinball game. He left behind a wife and little girl. ALWAYS wear your seatbelts! The people you leave behind will be devastated. I have never before, or since, experienced that kind of grief.

I always, or almost always put mine on. For a while I didn't, but then I realized how stupid it would be to die just because I didn't feel like putting it on. So many bad drivers around here, and wearing a seatbelt is the law.

I have *ALWAYS* worn seat belts. I figured out early on that if a race car driver can hit a concrete wall at 150+MPH and walk away from it, thats good enough for me. Consider that in my life, I have already driven close to a half million miles, thats a good thing. For seat belts, my personal favorite for comfort is a 4 point harness with a quick release.:thumbsup:

like isaid earlier... that's a 5 point restraint system.. much diffrent... i actually think all cars should require them, they're alot safer then lap/shoulder belts....

don't take it from me... look for yourself <.< lol i still think everyone should use one...
