Do you wear your seatbelt?

Just wondering out of curiousity because I know that a lot of people have a bad habit of not doing it. I think it is just plain stupid not too. Unless of course you are fearless, and will never die.

I always wear mine.

If you dont, please tell us why?

I do but my best friend doesn't. He is lazy and I always remind him to wear it even though he doesn't listen.

After owning a Renault LAguna , the words "Warning, your seatbelt is not buckled" will ring in my ears forever, so it's unlikely I'll ever forget

No, I dont... I never got used to wearing it, and I just dont feel comfortable in it. I can handle about 10 minutes of it after which it starts to get on my nerves...I wear it in other peoples cars, if they ask me to. Ironically, a few years ago, in my only ever car crash, it was the seatbelt that probably saved me from serious injury. I suppose the Higher Powers figured my life was worth saving, so they sent down a traffic police patrol a few hundred metres from the place where I was destined to crash, which caused me to put the belt on so I dont get pulled over by them. I ended up walking away with a few bumps and bruises, if I wasnt wearing it I'd probably have broken my neck. I tried to make a habit of wearing it after that but it didnt really work...

I always wear my seatbelt, and I also feel really weird not wearing it. It's just force of habit for me now.

I always wear mine. Alex doesn't and I wish he would. He was in a head-on accident 5 years ago not wearing a belt and hit the windshield and that got him to wear it for awhile...then in the last couple years that stopped.

Same. I ALWAYS buckle up, its just habit. And if there is someone who wont buckle-up, then they dont cruise in my ride.

I always wear mine... and for as much of a B it is to have automatic seatbelts, it ensures that atleast half of my front passenger is buckled in. I always ask people to, but I can't sit there and monitor what everyone does when I'm driving. I just feel naked without my belt on... its like Linus' blankey!!!

I always do, and have since I was little. I feel wierd even moving the car in the driveway without it on. Feel like I'll slosh all around in the seat instead of being held in.
