Do you wear your seatbelt?

[Ian]

Just wondering who wears ther seat belt when driving/in a car?

Personally i ALWAYS do, just feel wrong without it. In fact my mate was ripping the **** out of me not long ago for putting in my seat belt to move 3 cars down the road, i just dont feel rght without it in though.

poll is private so you can vote no quietly if you want

I do without fail. Apart from at work driving cars in and out but that's just pointless, there's no traffic and its 5mph max!

I always make sure my passengers have them on too.

 

[Ian]

see I even do it just moving a car on the driveway i just dont like the feel of being in a moving car without a seatbelt on!

Suppose its not a bad thing to have this habbit though!

 

[Kev_mk3]

i never move without it on (unless on my drive or moving it onto the road etc) and if anyones in my car they have to wear it before i move

 

[turbojay]

yeah always wear mine too,

its just too risky imo, only takes one fault by you or another vehicle and could be dead

 

[Kev_mk3]

let me guess crash thread on mig started you off Ian

 

[Ian]

I always wear mine but there was one day I didn't (in a rush for college) and forgot to put it on, I rear ended someone on a round about and head butted my sun visor when I had a shaved head... God that hurt and I left an imprint of my head on my sunvisor with skin left on it :S But in a way I am glad I never wore it due to the air bag would of gone off for such little damage, but I have learnt my lesson and I always wear it now you just never know whats gunna happen!

I didn't wear my seat belt for the best part of eight years but always do now.

 

[Neve'o]

always do, I won't drive off if passengers haven't got them on either, I stupidly offered a 'friend' a lift a few months back one evening, he had been drinking and refused to wear his belt with plenty of **** taking at my expense so I left him at the side of the road, haven't spoken since though

Always do, Even just to move the cars across the street.

Its funny because my dad doesnt, and he gets annoyed when i pester him to put it on,

 

[Tom Mk3]

Always do, I don't want to fork out on a new dash when my heads imprinted in it!

 

[Rusty]

I do 99.99% of the time (ie. except when moving the thing a few meters for parking reasons)

 

[Mr Skint]

i dont even start the car without it on, IMO anyone who doesnt wear it is just a spacker

 

[Ben Chiles]

I always do. It's a must, only taxi drivers and police officers are exempt from the seat belt law. Think it's like a £60 fine too if your caught!

 

[kendo]

always wear it when i was younger i never liked them but once i was driving i relised how important it is

 

[Rusty]

only taxi drivers and police officers are exempt from the seat belt law

Delivery drivers are exempt if <50m between drops offs, and there's medical exemptions too.

I will not even turn the car on till eveyone inside it has thier belt on. I have 4 grandchildren aged 6 yrs-4wks and I have suitable car seat for each of them. The cost of a car seat is nothing to the cost of a life.
When I was growing up in the 70's I used to beg my mum to but her seat belt on as my father drove like a looney,I can even rember the Cluck click every trip advert.
