Do you wear a seat-belt?

[Nate]

Never. i prefer to live life on the fast lane. Yeah!!! Danger excites me!!!!!!!!!! Besides, seat belts are overrated.

I'll be sure to send some flowers to your funeral.

Not the most responsible attitude heero yuy. But like many teenagers you must think you are invincible on the road. The sad truth: You aren't. Put on a seat-belt.

Lol, I was just kidding. Of course i wear seat-belts. No offense, this just seems like a silly question.

Okay, fair enough. But it's also not such a silly question. I know a couple people who went to the US for a holiday (some years ago) and they noticed next to no-one wore a seat-belt. Not to mention that's what we are also told by the media over here. Naive is probably a better word.

I don't know where in the world they went in the US, but one of the few times times I HAVEN'T worn a seatbelt (in the USA) was when I was cramed into a car with too many people and not enough seatbelts. I can't remember a place I've lived in where you wouldn't be fined if you didn't wear a seatbelt.

Actually, it was enough that I was completely stunned when I went to India and realized that basically NO ONE wore seatbelts. In fact, most cars there don't even have them.

It's a subconscious habit for me to buckle up as soon as I get into any vehicle. If the seatbelt is buried, I make sure to find it before we take off.

I live in Oklahoma. They've really been cracking down on this stuff around here.

I always always always do. It's a subconcious thing for me too. Every now and then I'll be driving and be like "is my seatbelts on?!" Which of course it always is. It helps also that there's a blinking red seatbelts man on my dash and a tone if you don't have the seatbelt buckled.

Rolling up on a accident scene finding a smashed up car with blood all over inside but no patient because they have been ejected somewhere around the scene and now is a hunt to find the victim or victims.
Worse thing is to be thrown from a car and ended up in high speed traffic and the vehicles not beable to stop or not see the victim.

... And that is a very effective illustration for why seatbelts are a good idea.

It sometimes helps to watch those police videos on TV. They tend to emphasize on how those who survive because they wore seatbelts and showcase those who -fly- because they don't. It's also a grim reminder on how drunken driving and speeding aren't the smartest things to do.

And that reminds me. If possible, don't get a car with automatic seatbelts. If the door opens in a crash, your shoulder restraint disappears.
