Seatbelt

[Sebastian]

i'm curious if you guys use the seatbelt and how often?

i use it 90% of the time . safety reasons of course but sometimes i dont put it on for short distances (shamefull i know )

Cannot drive without it

[TopCat]

I think its just a habit thing, and personally at this stage its feels weird not to have one on.

[gfalls]

Every time I start the engine, my radar detector says "Welcome, fasten your seatbelt..!" It would be rude to ignore her..

[kevinod]

Habit as much as anything else I guess, like Topcat it just doesn't feel right driving without one.

[GarLaf]

Its dissapointing to hear some people dont clunk click every trip in this day and age.

[Baldrick]

I feel uncomfortable without it, even reversing out of the drive.

[CJ]

Agree with garlaf and baldrick - wear your belt guys!

CJ

[Dragonheart]

Always ,even for short distance or reversing out of someones way!

[Sebastian]

fair play guys

[gt94]

I always wear mine and since the baby was born i wont even drive off until all passengers have them on.Its just a habit now but one i can live with

[finers]

Will i break the trend a bit here,, as every says it just doesn't feel right not wearing one now but to be perfectly honest if driving just up the road or thereabouts i tend not to put it on:(, if my GF's in the car i never get away with it , + that little red no seat belt light is just too hard to ignore.

Progressive Insurance in the USA did studies on accident data and found that a significant number if accidents occur in the vicinity of the drivers home. unfortunately I don't know how close that is, but it makes sense that you'll take more risks and drive faster in roads you know, that's when you're most likely to crash.

There's also the reason that those are the roads you'll be on the most anyway, but as you say people would tend to relax and be less careful when they're familiar with the road...

[colm_mcm]

all the more reason to wear the belt on local journies!

[d_dan]

i always do even with the harnesses

[optical illusion]

I would feel naked not wearing one.

I also feel weird if I don't turn my lights on too.

HID's do that to you!
