For all of you who don't wear it, you must not be doing any "intense" driving.

or driving with drunken passed out passengers...

Now the question is..to wear or not to wear? when will it saves you and when will it not?

[abatardi]

We've all heard of freak occurences where not wearing it saved someone. Those are the exceptions and that's WHY you hear about them. Much more time than not, it's better to wear it.. Most people get in 30mph fender benders, not head on collissions and multiple rollovers..

Always wear your seatbelt. There are too many stupid driver out there that will hit your car.

Ex) I was sitting at a red light and this guy hits me from behind going 35. I had my belt and and came a few inches from hitting my steering wheel ( its along distance since I'm 6'1) seat belt held me in place. The force of the blow and the seat belt holding me back when I did hit my seat I broke the damn thing. I Had to get a new seat b/c the backing wouldn't stay in a fixed positon. I don't mind the brokjen seat b/c hell I know i would have hit the wheel/ dash. etc.

You don't need to wear your seat belt for you b/c you you know your own driving. You need to wear it b/c you don't know how stupid/ drunk other people are driving...Their stupidity is not worth your health/life

it used to be that i didn't wear it...EVER!!!! Then I met my boyfriend and cause he was in a wreak and they flipped, he always tells me all these freak accidents and stories about cars flipping. I usually still don't think about wearing it....except for when my top's down (well not MINE, The CARS...Perverts! ). All those stories about how not wearing a seatbelt saved lives, If i didn't when the top is down, I can't just get thrown into the cargo area....I would just fall out.

Thats probably the only time I wear it!

If you get in a rollover with a convertible, you're pretty much done for anyways, seatbelt or not.

I always wear my seat belt, and I make my friends wear theirs too. One of my friends was killed a couple years ago when an old lady hit his cousin's car that he was riding in. My friend didn't have his seat belt on and died instantly. His cousin walked away.
