Seat belts....do you always "buckle-up for safety"

Another good reason to wear a seat belt is if you get run down by a Walmart driver who was speeding through a construction zone after commuting 700 miles to work, Walmart Corporate will not pay you one thin dime for their driver's negligence because you were not wearing a seat belt.

 

dang good point

 

The debate remains open regarding seat belts on buses, for legitimate reasons, depending on the scenario, and that's coming from a seat belt Nazi like me:

Uh leathers dummy. I laid mine down on the track at 75 rolled into the sand and stood up and walked away with a cracked rib and sprained wrist. Let me see u crash your car at 75 and walk away with no seat belt on.

 

laying one down and you getting in a wreck at 75 is 2 diff things...lets see a motorcycle rider get in a wreck at 75 and walk away....

 

its my vehicle,(well and the banks) i make the payments, i pay the insurance, i should be able to decide if i want to wear a seat belt or not..

 

One thing that seems to be forgotten here is, yes, your vehicle is your property, but you drive on public streets, and the fact is that driving is a privilege, not a right. Yes, I believe that there ought to be limits on exactly how much we're regulated, but a seatbelt is the most basic form of protection you have in your vehicle. If you can't do something as simple as that, then you may just simply have a problem with authority.

 

I am a firm believer in seat belts. With that said there are a few times i do not wear one. Off road. Driving steeper grades u might have to bail. Also don't lock the doors. I've only bailed once.

 

I think he would of benefited from a seatbelr here, drivers side looked fine
