Do You Wear a Steatbelt???

I always wear a seat-belt when I am in a car. This also includes taxi's when i am ony m way home after a night out. My friends never seem to put their belts on when they are in a taxi but I always do for safety reasons and I comment if they haven't got their belt on. This is also because one of my ex's brothers was in a car accident when he was about 14 years old and he went through the front wind-screen and landed on the road in front of the car. He know has to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Honestly, I rarely put on my seatbelt. I can't breath so well when I have it on so i prefer not to put it on. I know it is dangerous but if it's Gods will for me to die that way then let it be done. I am just not so comfortable wearing it.

Yes.... I always wear seat belt while driving car .. In india, It's a rule to wear a seat belt at the time of driving specialy on highways .. So I never break this rule & I always wear seat belt and suggest my friends to wear it ....

I always wear a seat belt and make sure anyone riding with me does also. Not only is it safer that way, but here in Florida, it's the law. If I get stopped for some reason and they see I don't have my seat belt on, I will get a ticket. But I mostly wear it because I feel safer that way.

Before it was a law I confess we did not wear them but have ever since. I still think they can save your life but they can also take your life but I will take my chances of them saving mine if need be.

Yes, I do wear a seatbelt, especially in the front seat but at times while sitting in the backseat I do not wear a seatbelt mostly for the reason they most of the times they don't fit. But if they did sure I would wear one everytime I get in a car.

HI there: I've not wore a seatbelt, since my (MVA) in 1996, when I got hung around the neck with my seatbelt, you know the part that goes up over your shoulder, that's what caused my neck injuries and my back injuries and each year I just get worse and worse and been on Disability since the accident;

I know I should wear them as its the LAW here in Missouri, but I just hate them
and I know they can save lives, but they also can kill you too??

So what do we do huh??

I guess if its our time, its our time but I can't stand anything touching my neck
not my hair, for sure not any necklaces, nothing, I wear the lightest weight clothing I can find, and to wear a winter coat is just TORTURE...I take it off as soon as I can; It sucks!

I never did until I had children. For the last 21 years I've always worn my seatbelt and I'm glad I got into the habit. Even now that I'm alone I buckle up. I'm shocked at how many wrecks I hear about here in Ohio where passengers are ejected from the vehicle and I feel so angry--all they had to do was buckle up, take two seconds to secure themselves. I see a lot of vehicles with kids jumping all over the place, too. In Ohio, only the front seat passengers are obligated to use seatbelts, how stupid is that?! Although they did just make a law that children under 4'9" have to be in booster seats so maybe we're making some progress.

Hi LadyM,


It is against the law here in the UK not to wear seatbelt in a car,so we have to wear it for our own safty, if anyone is caught not wearing a seat belt, they would be heavily fine and would get a endosement on the license, be safe wear a seatbelt when in a car.

I have been wearing my seatbelt for as long as I can remember. My parents would always make sure I had it on when I was little and we got in the car. It was like if we were going to McDonald's or something I would have to put it on or else I knew we weren't going. Now it's just like complete habit every time I get in a car to just right away buckle it up. Also I don't really feel like flying through the windshield anytime soon.
