do any of you NOT wear seatbelts in the car? (or have family or friends who don't?)
do any of you NOT wear seatbelts in the car? (or have family or friends who don't?) In BMW or otherwise......
Two days ago, a car with 3 people over-corrected itself and they landed in the ditch. The car rolled over and all 3 people in the car were ejected and killed instantly. It made me sad because it happened near my favorite Shell gas station. The three young people(30 to 40) lost their lives. If they were wearing their seatbelts, the would probably have sustained minor injuries at most.  RIP. |

It’s been almost 45 years and I’m still going to get teary eyed just typing this. When I was in high school one of my friends, who was an amazingly talented singer, was killed right before graduation when she was thrown in a rollover accident and the car rolled over her. Virtually our entire high school came to her funeral and the church was literally standing room only. I’ve always been a seat belt wearer, but for more than a decade after that I had a personalized license plate that said “BUCL UP”. My car doesn’t move until everyone, front and back, is buckled up.
At the end of the funeral they played a recording of her singing the hymn “Lord, I’m Coming Home” and it was beyond emotional.

I wear one 99.9% of the time. The .1% is up or down the drive way, which is why I code out the seatbelt audio alert.
Maybe a year ago I was seated up front on a Delta flight. I could see the guy in 1D (right-hand aisle seat) intentionally sitting on his seat belt the entire flight, ground to ground. My opinion? He was a total dumbass, but at least seated in the front row would probably not hurt anyone else if he were to get launched. |

I’m curious of the people who don’t wear them, what’s the rationale? Genuinely curious, not trying to start anything.

Too many close calls on the road on a regular basis from people either not paying attention, texting, etc. I feel unsafe not wearing it...I don't see a negative in wearing it, only positives.
