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.

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.

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

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

i buckle up in a very none obvious way once i see a cop car.
like loading an elephant gun in the presence of a tyrannosaurus rex

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.

While i was in the post office the other day, my wife said she saw numerous people get into their cars and drive off without buckling up. i had been in an accident in the 10th grade that prompted me to never drive on the road without a seatbelt. Sometimes i even put it on without thinking when i'm moving it 10ft down my driveway or some other inconsequential distance. So the idea of not buckling up is foreign to me.
Hence, i wondered how many people here don't buckle up and if they have a rationale for it or if it's just that they never got into the habit.
