  Here it's illegal to drive without buckling up. Even in the backseat. Hell, they're there for a reason. I think if you don't do it or teach your kids you're an irresponsible asshole.

  I won't drive until everyone buckles up. My friends give me all sorts of crap but I just don't understand their reasoning.

  • same here– kona1/3

    and here :)– sputnik22/3

    That makes sense. As the driver, one probably feels more responsibility for the passengers.– Jaline3/3

  Unless you're in the back, I couldn't care less if you buckle up or not... your stupidity really.

  in maryland you have to buckle up in the fornt or you will get a ticket.

  even the passenger riding shotgun has to buckle up or you can get a ticket for his ignorance too.

  • fornt = front.

  yeah, most cars these days make it annoying not to, but i usually do anyway. it's easy enough. people must be well aware of the dangers, so the rationale against it is just playing the odds and being a gambler i suppose. i don't wear a bicycle helmet, and looking at the statistics, i'd just have to be really unlucky to suffer a head injury that a helmet would have prevented. driving is far more dangerous though.

  My sister died in a car wreck in 1995, because she did not have her seat belt on. I am adamant about anyone in any car I'm in wearing their seat belts.

  always buckle up unless I'm in a taxi for some reason.

  • because those drivers, while having a death wish, will never ever harm you.– mg331/2

    yeah, taxi drivers only harm the people outside of their cabs– acescence2/2

  greedo just pointed out this thread... i originally posted this over in the blog only moments ago...

  wow... just was on the highway here west of st. louis... it's sleeting out...

  ... encountered a massive backup on the highway caused by 12 cars and 2 tractor trailers... there were two vehicles completely under one of the trailers and about 20 fireman working at getting the people out... and just a shitload of cars tossed about all over the place... some you could see entire roofs ripped open where they had just gotten people out...

  ... sobering shit.

  I do it by habit.

  Once in a while I don't do it if I'm sitting in the back, squished between 3-4 people. They are also uncomfortable, but I use one 99% of the time.

  i was in two accidents last year -- one much worse than the other. both times the car was totaled and both times the combination of seat belt and airbag saved my life.

  I buckle up before I put my car into gear.

  If I'm the passenger, I'm a little slower to realize that I'm not buckled. Not sure why that is.

  • I'm also really bad about not buckling when riding in the back seat. Absolutely no rationale for that.– tymeframe1/2

    Yeah, for some reason I ALWAYS remember when I'm in the front, but not the back.– Jaline2/2
