do you wear a seatbelt in the car?

[jdub61]

If i get hurt thats my own choice

why would you choose that? why do you take the risk? what do you gain by not wearing it?

I never wear it.I have a medical release.Besides I drive like an old woman.lol

I don't get those of you who don't wear them. I really don't. I guess you don't value your lives as much. Or perhaps you really don't realize they do more good than harm.

I wish you'd take an opportunity to do a ride-out with the medics in your town when they're working motor vehicle accidents. That'd give you a quick attitude adjustment.

Always. It's become a good habit. I have to admit, though...every accident I've ever been in (haven't been in one for a long time, thank goodness), I didn't have my seatbelt on and I survived ok. But, I still wear it ALL the time. It's automatic...just a reflex. Gotta set a good example too.

I've never had a problem with wearing a seatbelt. I was always raised to wear it, and I've grown to accept it. There's nothing wrong with being safe. I almost always wear it. I mean, why not?

Every single time I get in a car it's just a habbit to put it on. I remember I rode in a friends 65 mustang one time that didn't have them at all and I just didn't feel right.

I said no. Reason being, I have had multiple friends not die in a car crash because they were ejected from the car. Another friend was in a car wreck and the person that hit her got cut pretty close to completely in half due to the seat belt...

That might be the case with the couple specific instances you know, but that's not the case in general. You might be more likely to be injured wearing a seatbelt in an accident, but you are definitely more likely to die without the seatbelt.

Nationally 60% of all unbelted occupants are ejected from the vehicle during a crash. 73% of all ejected occupants are killed.

I choose not to wear it because I can.

I'm an adult, and i can make my own decisions. Like i said, any passangers i have HAVE to wear it, otherwise i wont drive them anywhere. I take the risk because i can. I dont have anything to gain by not wearing it. I dont like seatbelts, so i dont wear mine.

If i crash and die, that's my own stupid fault isnt it? It's no one elses problem.

The point is, i do not, and will not wear a seatbelt in my own car/van.
Weather i am or am not wearing a seatbelt only effects me, so it's my decision.
