I recently noticed that I am the only person I know who wears their safety belt at all times. Just wondering who else does.

Yes I always wear mine. I don't understand why someone wouldn't wear one. I guess some people don't have the two seconds to spare right before they start their car.

i was in a rough car accident where i rear ended someone. i walked away with minor injurys but i feel theres a good chance i wouldn't have walked away from it if i was not wearing my seat belt.
i heard something a while ago saying if you were to hit something head on at 55mph (another car, tree, ect...) if there was someone in the back seat not wearing their seat belt they would hit the back of the seat with enough force to kill the person sitting in it. conclusion my car doesn't move unless everyone in the vehicle is wearing their seat belt. |

Sometimes,
I always wear it when in the driver or passenger seat of a POV or Govvie. When in the back seat of viehicles, especially on long trip I almost never wear my seatbelt. In cabs, I never wear a seatbelt. |

I don't know about other states, but in Missouri and Kansas it's state law to wear a seat belt. Personally, I think it is completely ridiculous to have a law saying you have to wear a seatbelt. I always wear mine, but I don't think it should be against the law to not wear one. Kind of like helmet laws for motorcyclists. What do you guys think?

Adults shouldn't be required by law to wear a seatbelt.

Always wear mine, it's stupid not to. The only time I don't is like wgp said about not leaving the property, or if I need to, like if I drop something i'll wait until I can stop and take it off for a second, or so and so.

I always wear mine. The one time I've been in accident I was wearing it. Not sure if it actually saved my life, but it probably saved me from substantial injury. I never understand the people that don't wear one. I don't think it should be against the law not to wear one, but if someone is too stupid to not wear a seatbelt, then I have no sympathy if something happens.

Used to not, and was in a small accident, wasn't wearing a belt and went through the winshield, then started wearing it and was in a near fatal accident, i walked with scratches, so i always wear it now, i won't get in a moving car if i can't wear a belt, and if i'm driving and people aren't wearing belts, the car doesn't move.

I always wear mine, especially after seeing a close friend almost die (other drivers in the accident did die), and just recently a friend's Mom and sister died (not wearing seat belts). Also, but not wearing your seat belt, you're also putting everyone else's lives at risk, as your body will fly through the car and slam into the rest of the passengers, particularly if you're riding in the back.

I don't where mine all the time, it's a bad habit I know, but most of the time
when I am not wearing it, is when I am going a couple of blocks away in my neighborhood. |

I don't wear mine while driving simply out of habit. Though, I will usually
wear one if I am ridding in a friend's car because in Georgia, not
wearing a seatbelt is only against the law if you are in a car. Silly
hicks.

I always wear one unless I am only moving a few yards away. Since I drive most of the time compared to being a passenger, my car is really annoying when I am just driving from one side of the parking lot to the other without a seat belt. It just starts with a constant ding then it gets faster and faster the farther you travel. It never stops. |

Always wear one. Glad Florida has laws making it mandatory.

I think it should be a law to wear one. It saves lives and keeps less people out of the hospital. Would you want one of your family members to die just because they chose not to wear one?
