BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Cars Do you Wear a Seatbelt?

I'm not sure if it's a law everywhere or not. I think it should be. It's not just the person in the car that it affects. If someone's car goes out of control, and they are thrown from the driver's seat by the spinning force, now they have NO chance of controlling their car. Their car is now a gigantic missile about to crash into many innocent other people. So to say "A driver should remain in front of their steering wheel" seems pretty reasonable to me!!

Seat belts help in crashes to protect the driver from going into the windshield or out of the car - but they ALSO help in accidents to keep the driver squarely in front of the steering wheel and pedals. And many, many times that's the difference between the car staying in control vs the car crashing into others.

When in a car someone else is driving ALWAYS.

When I drive i'm on a motorcycle so no. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

oh xcept on coaches tho!hehe!
i've been in a few crashes and i'm sure its saved ma life on several occasions, but its especially necessary when i offroad as i have rolled a couple of times and would've got ma head squished or sumthin if i wasn't wearing ma racing belts

I wear a seat belt because they'll give me a ticket if I dont. I think it's an infringement of my rights to make me wear one.
