I always wear my seatbelt. Why risk your life over it?

It's a habit for me to put on my seatbelt. I really don't even think about it, and sometimes I find myself putting it on even if I'm just getting in my car to warm up or something.

At a sense, I agree with you. This world is becoming too over populated with idioticy.

Yep, "Idiot Camps" are in order.

Honestly though, I think it's completely retarded to not wear a seat belt, and whoever doesn't is, well, pretty retarded.

a good thing that there is a law that makes the seat belts available in the cars.
not a good thing to have a law requiring you to wear them.

95% of the time in the summer i ride... a sportbike. safety is really a choice you make.

-you can do a lot to drive safe including wearing the seat belts, i just think the law is un necessary but sometimes i forget this is the nanny nation where everyone is 30 lbs over weight.

so there my two cents

In fact, I have a 6pt in my S because it's safer than the 3pt OEM.

Wait, doesn't the 6 point keep you upright in the seat at all times? Is this strictly a track car for you or do you drive around the streets with a roll bar and wearing a helmet?

Surprisingly, I'm short enough that I sit far enough forward and low enough for me to pass the broomstick test without an aftermarket roll bar...

And besides that, there is such a low percentage of accidents that are roll-overs, that I'm still far safer even if I wasn't able to pass the broomstick test...
