It’s for other people’s safety as much as it is yours. Not wearing one turns your fat arse into a projectile that can harm someone else in your car or in another car.

I agree with the government not controlling us, but you can certainly argue that you have a better chance of controlling your vehicle if you're still in the driver's seat versus not. Therefore, you may be saving the lives of others. by wearing a belt.

Yes.

CSB, but when I was 21 I got into a habit (short lived, maybe 2 weeks) of not wearing my seat belt when driving to my buddy's house from mine, it was about a 10 minute drive, all on country roads. One afternoon, I decided to wear my seat belt, I don't know why I chose to do it that day. Anyway, about halfway there a dog ran into the road and I tried to miss it, ended up fishtailing and hitting a culvert head on while going about 45-50 MPH.

I wear my seat belt every time I'm in a vehicle now.

I do. Everyone in the car with me has to have theirs buckled before I will move.

I follow the law and do not have a desire to be ejected from a vehicle. It is such a second nature thing for me, I get physically uncomfortable if I do not have it on. How do people in today's age not wear one?

I grew up in the age where no one wore them.

I usually don't buckle up if I'm riding in town, but when I get on the interstate I do.

Yes, it makes me feel like a race car driver.

I didn't grow up with seat belts when I was young, but nowadays, I feel naked if I don't have my seatbelt on...

It's just something I do as soon as starting the car without even thinking about it. Sometimes I catch myself not wearing one as a passenger

I do, and it actually got me laid once. Chick didn't know any men who wore seatbelts.

In my ICU career I saw 2 patients not wearing seat belts,when they were ejected they landed in fire ant beds.So besides their injuries they were covered with fire ant bites head to toe,hundreds of them.

I usually wear my seatbelt with skinny jeans and a wallet with a bigass chain. I usually pair it with leather vest and a black leather fedora and some wayfair sunglasses

Yes


I was in a rollover accident while going 70mph down the interstate. Ended up 40 feet off the side of the highway after having flipped over once. Every window busted.

I walked away with only a bruise on my left shoulder from the seat belt. Had I not been wearing one, I would have been ejected and killed instantly.
