I do....without fail....not because it's the law mind-you.....but because I've seen more than 1 person have to be literally "scrapped-up" off the road. Got passed by 2 car-loads of kids on I-10 one night about 30 miles +/- from Blythe Ca. They got together somehow and 1 vehicle lost control ,went out into the desert and rolled several times , the other one went into the median and over-turned. Me and my co-driver came onto this horrific scene just after it happened....kids everywhere.....thrown everywhere I mean....2 were lying on the edge of the interstate with pieces missing a couple were out in the sand a ways all crumpled-up....in all 7 of them were killed....I've been in combat and seen , and smelled , and heard grown men screaming for help....but some of the sounds that these kid's were making shouldn't come out of human beings....IIRC this was in the fall of '75... up til that night I hadn't really given the use of a seat belt too much thought....but after that......I'll never go even a few feet without one on....
what do some of you folks think...wear one or not....no judging going on here , just curious what some older hands and newer drivers think about the use of seat belts........Thanks TTTD.
Seat belts....do you always "buckle-up for safety"
