Do you wear a seatbelt when you drive?

[LockedHDD__Pot]

It's automatically on when I'm driving but I never put one on when I'm passenger unless I get beeped at

so you trust others' driving more than your own?

 

[not that Jack Horner]

No because it's uncomfortable.

ok there fat tits

I once heard about this guy who went shopping with his kid and forgot to strap him him and the kid went flying out the car and splat.

And he left the soundbar in the store as he was in a rush that day.

Clunk click every trip.

Not always until I leave my street, but always on public roadways. I make my passengers wear them because I get cited if a cop notices.
Friends and I used to get together on one guy's lot to drive around with no seatbelts, drinking cocktails and shooting guns out of the windows while we shouted "Private property! Come and take it!"

You're pretty much guaranteed to survive most car accidents if you're wearing one and pretty much guaranteed to be killed or turned into a vegetable if you're not, so yes.

I do even in the backseat.

Once when I was arrested I wasn't buckled and got the department into a bit of trouble and had charges dropped due to negligence. I wasn't hurt or anything, but did slide around the back and even told them to buckle me in and they didn't listen.

Bodycams proved everything.

I get it when you're a dumbass teenager wanting to be rebellious by not wearing one, but as an adult, absolutely. I trust myself completely as a driver, it's others who are unpredictable. I've seen people do some incredibly stupid shit behind the wheel.

Not at all just how it happens

I have to be honest, if the seatbelt chime wasnt relentless I would never wear it

I rarely used them until my buddy managed to flip his explorer with me in it. He'd belted behind to stop the alarm, I'd belted in front. He went out the driver-side window and ended up with a half dozen broken ribs, a broken collarbone, a broken arm, a shattered pelvis and a concussion. Just all kinds of fucked up. I had a couple of scratches from flying glass and a belt mark across the chest.

I just want to say anyone who doesn't buckle up is a retard.

 

[Milk74]

No because it's uncomfortable. I just buckle it behind me. Massachusetts is one of the few states where it's not a primary stop violation, so you can only be cited if you're pulled over for something else. The legislature keeps voting it down because it's "racist" to pull people over for not wearing it. We also have the lowest rate of seat belt usage in the country except for NH, where there is no seat belt law for adults.

Do you use one of these?

It's a highlight of my kids' day if I let her sit up front and drive her up and down the driveway for a while.

I always wear one. I’ve been in 2 accidents where I’d be straight up dead without it on.

 

[Phish]

Anyone who’s been ina couple of car accidents and felt how fuckin bad it hurts to hit a dashboard/back of a seat/a steering wheel, even at low speeds, is an absolute retard not to wear one. Without wearing one during the rollover I was in, Id probably be dead. I used to never wear one and hated them. Now I always do. NH is crazy, they dont even have motorcycle helmet laws.

 

[Papa Goldendick]

I've been in several car accidents (not my fault, women and old men drivers) in which a wore a seatbelt and it fucking sucked. Couldn't imagine what it'd be like if I didn't.

 

[Lamont & Tonelli]

 

[Smeckler's Powder]

My parents set a very bad example for me. I know I should wear it on the highway at least.

lol that's the safest place to drive

 

[Smeckler's Powder]

I get in the car, turn on the Golden Earring, and put on a seatbelt....what was the question?
