I drive our van to and from work. Basically you go out Main Street in Marion, which becomes 256 at a stop sign. From there you move onto a fast highway for about ten miles. At the stop sign, I firmly hit my brakes and my seat...

Do the backseat passengers need to wear the seat belts?

youless @youless (114117) • Guangzhou, China 25 Nov 19

Here the new rule requires the backseat passengers also need to wear the seat belts. Otherwise there will be a punishment. I think it is a good rule. At least it will be safer. What do you think?

Do you wear a seatbelt when you're in a car?

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 15 Aug 17

I always buckle up when I am in a car. It's instinctive for me. Do you wear a seatbelt. Needless to say it is a safe practice and should become a habit.

Do you always wear the seat belt?

Wearing your seat belt is such a simple act, isn't it? Sometimes I wonder why so many people forget to use it? So many traffic accidents could be prevented with this attitude. Do you always wear yours?
