Buckle up. Because you never know.
I saw that on a billboard today. I think it's worth posting.
Just a reminder from your friends at AF.

Jay, it was worth posting. Unfortunately, some think they are invincible. I use seatbelts even on the back seat.

I buckle up without even thinking about it. Most of the time I don't end up needing it, but like the slogan says, "You never know." I do it just out of habit, have since I was little, and it feels wierd if I don't have it on.

For me its a feeling of control, if i am not wearing it like I forget, i feel like i don't have as much control over the car and that i'll just slide all over, when i have my seatbelt on I become the car, and the car becomes me...

It's the second thing I do when I get in a car... Right after closing the door.
But when I was driving a friends car (an integra, supercharged no less) I just wanted to pull it up 10 feet and I didn't put on my seatbelt. It felt soooo weird driving w/o a seat belt...

I know what you mean. I have to force myself not to put my belt on if I'm just moving the car in the driveway, but for the entire 10 seconds or less of driving, I feel so strange. I feel like I could just slosh all around in the cabin without it on.

I've been driving 36 years and can't think of a time I haven't buckled up (unless the car didn't have seat belts) -- either as a driver or passenger. I always think of the cop on TV that says he "never unbuckled a dead person".....

it's just so routine now.... i know when we visited europe nobody in the backs of cars had seat belts on, NOBODY!! it was so weird, cause i just do it without thinkin, i think it's more comfortable being strapped into your seat

Any one that doesn't wear a seat belt is a bloody fool.
I've lost to close friends who may still have been here today if they took the time to belt up. All cars should have an alarm that sounds off untill you have belted up...not just a light.

My Mazda Protoge has a little light and an annoying beep... It works well, but the problem is that it goes off not only when you don't have your belt buckled but whenever it wants. Nevertheless, it does a good job of making sure you buckled.
Quote from the Simpsons's: Homer is driving Snake's convertible... Lisa: Shouldn't you be wearing your seatbelt, Dad? Homer: Pssh! Seatbelts kill more people than they save. Lisa: That's airbags, Dad! Homer: Oh well... Yet another example of Homer's stupidity... Brought to you by ~Twist~

Toyota Echo's (at least the one I've [unfortunately] had experience with) had a light in the instrument cluster, but also one for the pass. seat belt on the center console that never goes out until you buckle that seat belt up. So if you are driving by yourself in one, you either have to buckle nobody up in the pass. seat or deal with the annoying light on the console

 The Prius has the same thing. Other Toyotas have 'em?When you're bored and traffic is stopped, it's fun to reach over and hit the passenger seat to make the light flash in time to the music.

They only need to have a drivers one....what do these places who make our cars think off
   If i carry people in my car i will not drive anywhere untill all the passengers have belts on. The driver should make sure of this.
