Doing your seat belt only takes like 5 seconds yet so many people just forget about it. Seriously, it doesn't make you look cool if you don't have it on.
The reason I'm writing this is because two days ago, I got in a car crash. It wasn't big, but any car crash is bad. On top of that, most of the impact was on me while I was sitting on the front passenger seat. Whenever I put on a seatbelt, I always think what the chances are of getting into a crash are and that day, I was almost about to not put it on b/c I trusted the driver, a friend of mine. The way it happened was we were on a crowded highway and so the traffic was all messed up. The car ahead of us suddenly stopped and my friend saw it coming like 50 feet ahead; unfortunately the car was full (7 people with alot of luggage) and the car kept skidding although he pressed the breakes.
But please do your seat belts, it will save your life.

Glad you're safe. Putting my seatbelt has become a habit for me that during the rare occasion I don't have my seatbelt on, I feel really exposed and uncomfortable (even though the chance of a crash is relatively low).

People who don't wear seat belts because they think it doesn't look cool are suicidal tools. Props to you for being safe, glad you're okay, and props for making this blog.

wow. The title amuses me, but yeah I agree, my mum always made me put on my seat belt so I always do.
Since everyone was ok...what happened to the car?
|
I feel naked in a car without my seatbelt firmly straddling me.
|
Sometimes when I'm in a hurry I back my car out of the garage before putting on my seatbelt, and even that is enough to make me not feel comfortable. I ALWAYS wear my seatbelt and I wont drive anyone who doesnt put theirs on.
Seatbelts = mans best friend.

I always put my seat belt on it's like an instinct when getting in my car.
|
I thought we all learned this in kindergarten.
|
I hate it when people don't put on their seat-belts. Regardless if it just hasn't become routine or habitual for them. Parents should force all their kids to wear them. It's stupid to do otherwise. @_@

i think we did all learn it in kindergarten. nevertheless, if everyone wore their seatbelt, about 5500 lives a year (just in the US) would be saved. that's almost twice the losses in 9/11, every year.
buckle up fellas!

Wow, good to know you're fine, and great PSA.
|
I always put on a seat-belt ... it's like wiping my ass after taking a crap kind of habit ... you just do it .. :/
|
I always wear a seat belt, it's the height of retardedness not to.
|
I always put on my seat belt, I dont care if others dont because its gonna save my life more times than not. And when i do not have it on i always feel so weird and like i could rocket out of the car so easily.

Glad you're ok, and that's something a lot of people (aka 99% of drivers) are too stupid to realize; you can't fucking follow another car 15 feet behind them at 75 mph. There's no fucking way you can react, brake, and stop, before hitting the car in front of you. This doesn't really have too much to do with your case because you were probably going slower but I always maintain like 100 feet if I can, although sometimes I get impatient and get a lot closer. But the time it takes to even react will take you farther than the distance between your two cars.
