Do you wear your seatbelt?

**EnjoiJoe** · 07-30-2009, 08:18 PM

Just wondering because I got bitched out by my gr for not wearing it and wanted to know how many people wear them

**foxman92** · 07-30-2009, 08:20 PM

NO.. i shouldnt have to be forced to wear a seat belt, when a guy on a motorcycle and run at the same speed going down the highway with no helmet.. thats my opinon..

**Poppn** · 07-30-2009, 08:58 PM

i feel completely awkward NOT wearing one.

so yes, i always always always wear my seatbelt

a seatbelt saved me once already...

I wear it.

I always wear it and always have. Feel naked w/out it.

Although I really dont understand that in IA, there's a seatbelt law, but no helmet law.

yar, i always wear it

**Smittro** · 07-31-2009, 12:53 AM

Always! Not so much for protection but more to keep my ass in the seat. And it's the law here in PA...I buckle it and pull it tight everytime I saddle up so to speak..

Always. Why would someone not? Pretty basic physics in play. Well ok, sometimes if I am going around the block maybe not, and when I pull into a parking lot or other low speed area, it comes off instantly.

First then I do and i dont even think about it. Kinda like breathing

After so many years with a seat belt law, it's habit to put it on. It feels strange to drive without it.

**StuntmanMike** · 07-31-2009, 03:00 AM

I've always worn my seatbelt, I feel wierd without it. I guess it goes back to being a kid, I remember my mom wouldn't leve the driveway unless we all had our seatbelts on.

With so many crashes where people would have survived had they been wearing a seatbelt, I really don't understand why anyone WOULDN'T wear it.

**hamburger68** · 07-31-2009, 03:30 AM

always, automatically! mostly because i don't wanna die.

**rbob93** · 07-31-2009, 03:58 AM

Stupid not to isn't it?

Oh yeah, we'll get someone on here that will say they have a friend would have died if he had it on. How do you prove that?

**Goat-E** · 07-31-2009, 04:24 AM

Always. If I get a ticket for not wearing one in the truck I will not only get a ticket but a 2 day suspension. You never know what is gonna happen so I wear that sucker. I used to not wear it and looking back after operating a Heavy Wrecker and cleaning up numerous accident scenes I was a FOOL.

**pajeff02** · 07-31-2009, 04:25 AM

As a couple of members have already said -- I just do not feel right in a car unless I have the seatbelt on. I have actually pulled rear seat cushions in friend's cars to dig out the belts. My best friend's '70 Dart simply has lap belts. Not having the shoulder belt also makes me uncomfortable.

**SiggyZ** · 07-31-2009, 04:29 AM

I wear mine and think it's stupid not to.

**SiggyZ** · 07-31-2009, 04:30 AM

It doesn't matter if it has. Wearing a seatbelt has far and away saved many more lives than it's taken.

**chiller2484** · 07-31-2009, 04:44 AM

i wear mine all the time. the only time i didn't was when i had my wrangler (it was awkward and uncomfortable), and i ended up getting a seatbelt ticket for that.

**Smittro** · 07-31-2009, 04:44 AM

Besides, generally speaking, a seat belt helps keep the body in the car. Rather than then haveing to carry around the 2'x2'x4' disaster box and shovel to round your parts up over a couple of hundred yards...

**ksstamp09** · 07-31-2009, 04:57 AM

always. if you dont, quit bein a hardass.

mine failed in a truck an i took the steering wheel to the chest, 2 collapsed lungs, fractured ribs an 44 days in a coma.

but in kept me IN the truck an out of other traffic.
