    If they made seat belts that fit my small frame without choking me all day I might wear one.

    I just can't imagine how stupid I would have to be to not wear a seat belt. I'm trying to fathom lowering my iq about 70 points so that I wouldn't wear one. I'm having a hard time doing that. Maybe someone else can explan to me why they would rather die than take less than 2 seconds to buckle a seat belt.

    Only an idiot would choose not to wear a seatbelt or a helmet.

    One of my memorable wrecks I pulled was a car into a pole. Driver had a belt on, passenger didn't. Passenger left a perfect imprint of her face, makeup and expression in the dash. Buckle up!

    I hear it's easier when not sober... Then again, only an idiot would get drunk and drive...
