    Have used seatbelts since before I was 20. A seat belt saved my life, and gave me a future. I have never been able to figure out why anyone would NOT want to use a seatbelt. They are proven to save lives with minimal to no discomfort to the user.

    I was not wearing a seatbelt in 1974. my prized mustang was totaled; I broke nearly every bone in my body. concussion, coma for 6 weeks. no memory of ANYTHING before the accident. I have what I call memories of my childhood but they are someone elses memories as they were told to me. I had to be introduced to family, friends, fiancee SP? and learn to walk again. I weighed less than 90 lbs when I woke up. (I have since corrected THAT ailment lol) it was a tough 2 yr recovery and I remember my seatbelt as do my kids.

    WOW, it really makes you think. The first thing I do when I get in a car is to buckle-up.

    I always wear my seatbelt. Was in an accident years ago and while I hit the steering wheel hard enough to break a couple of ribs, I felt that seat belt tighten and hold me back. Without it I know I would have gone into or may through the windshield. So, I know from experience that seat belts work and I will not drive or ride in a vehicle without one.

    About 10 years ago we sold a 1991 Camry, and the young man who bought it needed a car because he'd totaled his previous one. He told me about the accident, in which he was not wearing a seatbelt. His right leg was broken in several places and his pelvis was crushed when he slammed into the steering wheel, and there were multiple internal injuries and a long, painful recovery. I was showing him the car, and that particular model had a passive restraint system with the shoulder belt mounted to the door frame, and it would come boogieing across your body as you closed the door. As he got into the car and this happened, he turned to me and said, "The first thing I'm going to do is cut that darn thing off." Go figure.
