death help: How many people do not wear a seat belt while in a car? - Help.com

How many people do not wear a seat belt while in a car?

I always wear a seat belt, even if it’s just reversing out of my drive way, but I was just wondering, how many people don’t wear one? It must happen because there are adverts about it and deaths occur from it! Its madness!

when i was younger, i use to hate wearing seatbelts while riding in the back seat. or i would remove the shoulder strap because it irritated my neck. needless to say my parents became angry with me and enforced the use of wearing my seatbelt. luckily i never experienced a near fatal accident.

now that i can drive, i always wear one regardless.

I wear mine all the time.. I’ve heard too many nasty stories of car accidents from my dad about people who didn’t wear their belt.

You had better go back to driving school! lol

I wear mine all the time, too. There may be occasions where it would have been better not to have it on but the odds are sure in favor of wearing it!

Thats really scary to think that seatbelts could also harm you. I almost always wear mine, specially if i’m driving. When i’m only going a short distance and in the back seat, sometimes i don’t, but in most states its the law to wear it. I had a friend who crashed into a tree going 80, he walked away fine, because he was wearing a seat belt.

When I’m driving my family around and my mum is in the back, she tends not to wear a seatbelt because she says it makes her feel claustrophobic, so I refuse to drive anywhere until she puts it on. Its the same for anyone really. Doesn’t the driver get prosecuted if someone in the car they are driving isn’t wearing a seatbelt?

oh yeah! I was up all night watching the election! History has been made! It was Brilliant! But did you know that before George Washington, there were 7 (I think, not sure) unofficial presidents of America, and the first was black too! We just need to get rid of our idiot prime minister (Gordon Brown) and then I’ll Enjoy living in England…
