Do you wear a seat belt?

i tied the seat belt around the back of the seat and have it plugged in. No dinging.
I do think it is a generational thing.
My wife and kids beg me to wear it but to no avail.

Almost didnt bother with this thread cause I thought it was a dumb question...Figured answers would be 100% yes.. I dont get why you wouldnt?
Only clicked thread cause I was in an accident on Sat. Old lady never saw me and smashed into me going almost 50. Had my baby in car. Cant imagine how bad it would have been if we were not wearing them. No injuries.
A guy I know who doesnt wear one says its because he is an excellent driver. But I learned Sat it doesnt matter how well you drive... Too many old people and idiots on the road..

I just figured everyone wore one as well. After looking around the net it looks like not all states care that much about them. I know here in Plano it's a 140.00 fine for not wearing one and yeah they watch very closely for people not doing it. "Click it or ticket" is the big slogan here in Texas. I saw other states with fines around 15.00. 140.00 instead of 15.00 is a big difference especially when that's one of the big things the police look for.
I agree that you should wear one, but being REQUIRED BY LAW is fucking nuts.
There are several other things that the government could worry about, like installing breathalyzers in every car, however the alcohol lobbyists would never let that happen, would kill business, eh I mean would be too obstructive to my freedom and an inconvience to blow everytime I start the car.

if someone not wearing a seatbelt gets into an accident and is killed while the other driver wearing theirs isn't....that would be pretty shitty. now someone has to live their life with the death of someone else hanging over their head because...mmeh I don't like to wear my seatbelt.
just sayin.
I can't stand driving without one, definitely a generational thing
You mean like someone who has a family member killed by a gun, but they dont support the ownership of guns, that would be pretty shitty now a family has to bear this sorrow because mmeh I have a 2nd Amendment right to own a gun.
Also, why should I have to protect myself to make you feel better. If the accident was the fault of theperson who choose to wear a seatbelt than it is their fault.
Again, I wear my seatbelt, because of my kids, but it boogles my mind that this issue gets the support it does from people,when there are SO many other issues that could help save AMERICANS than a fucking seat belt.
Like Universal Health Care, Food regulation, and as mentioned above monitor for alcohol use on EVERY vehicle. A seat belt isnt saving someone from a head on drunk driver.
disappointed in you. grandkids wouldn't let me leave the driveway without buckling up but i operate heavy machinery so i'm just used to always doing it... :nono:
Is it fair for the expense of the tax payers to clean up someones blood and guts and transport bodies because someone is to lazy or stupid to click a seat buckle?
Not saying there are not bigger problems the lawmakers should worry about... But I dont mind this one.. My brothers a firefighter and he has to clean up the mess of these dumbasses
