Whoever votes No and tries to make the arguement of someone dying from a seat belt is retarded...

I feel like punching people who say they don't wear seatbelts. They are proven to work, no doubt about that. They aren't uncomfortable either...

There are some dumbass's on this earth. There is a reason why companies put seatbelts in a car...

Always while actually on the road. I've been in too many accidents to not believe how crucial seatbelts are.

Seatbelts are for girls!!!

just kidding though, I put mine on even if I'm just moving my car in the drive-way.

I always have mine on no matter where I go. Especially since I've been in a couple of accidents, that's the first thing that goes on when I get in the car.

Put it on all the time...I notice myself putting it on to move it as well. When I used to drive a pickup for the Highway department I never wore one when I was driving since I had to stop and get out on the side of the road every 50 feet. I probably should have used it anyway...getting rearened on the side of a highway would not be fun at all - especially without a seatbelt.

ALL the time.

Picture flying out the window and sliding along the pavement several hundred feet. As you are sliding you see cars whizzing past and find yourself saying very quietly to yourself "oh God...this is going to be bad.

You finally stop and are conscious, you look around to find yourself still on the highway with cars stopped (thankfully) all around. You check yourself out and figure you can stand up. Someone tells you to stay down... then the pain sets in. Along with other injuries you have serious road rash to the point of no skin left on some areas... nothing but muscle embedded with road dirt.

Ah, not so cool now to have been rollin' without seat belts only a couple of minutes ago.

Wear mine all the time. In Cali it's the law. Should be everywhere else too.

Yes I do now.... When the seat belt law went into effect it was extremely hard to get into the habit. At first I couldn't stand them one bit. Over time I don't even think about it as it comes naturally.

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:09 am

I always wear them. I have a friend who doesn't, and when I ride with her I give her a dirty look till she "remembers" to put it on.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 12:17 pm

I wear mine all the time. I feel naked without it. If anyone gets in my car and won't put their seatbelt on, I won't move the car until they do. If they still don't want to....they can GTFO. Its the law here too and you can lose your license if your passenger doesn't have one on.

State Law.

Its hard to corner when not held in your seat... nuff said.

jetas · Post by **jetas** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 1:46 pm

I do the same thing. Car doesn't move an inch till every one is buckled up.

if you drive a neon then your screwed if you wear in it or not

but i still voted yes

Trinity · Post by **Trinity** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 7:46 pm

I second that.

I will always wear it no matter what.
I've got scars to prove how well the seat belt held me down.

60trim · Post by **60trim** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 7:53 pm

All the time. I don't even put my keys in the ignition untill my seat belt is on. A certain sequence of events happen when I get in my car. Open door, get in, close door, put on seat belt, keys in ignition, check mirrors, start car. Done.

Post by **racer12306** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 9:28 pm

State law and I'd rather die because of the seatbelt than flying out of the car. Probably quicker with the seatbelt, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS.

Also, if you do get in an accident regardless of the sevarity. Force them to replace the seatbelts that were being used. They are a one time deal, they served their purpose and its time for new ones.

GreeNeons03 · Post by **GreeNeons03** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 9:58 pm

Anybody have an extra driver's side seat belt on their hands? Mine has been through an accident and a mishap.

mopar4life · Post by **mopar4life** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:42 pm

You know, Id say it'd probably be safe to replace your belts every 3-5 years like we do with drag cars. They will only be nice and strong for 2 years but after that they start to weaken. I would say a street cars belts dont last that long since most are used everyday.

jrumann59 · Post by **jrumann59** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 1:57 am

I used not wear one but $55 a ticket gets pretty expensive after a while. I have been in 4 accidents 2 with seatbelts 2 without, the 2 with seatbelts I had to go to the hospital each time, fractured collar bone, and dislocated shoulder. 2 without I walked away from. I am all for seat belt usage, but I find it hypocritical that the gov't has the same people saying abortion is OK but you better wear your selt belt or else. Personally I think that helmet and seat belt laws for adults should be repealed, that is one way to control pollution of the gene pool.
