do any of you NOT wear seatbelts in the car? (or have family or friends who don't?)

I'm a little more basic.

I told my friend who didn't want to wear a seatbelt to sprint as fast as possible and run head-first into a brick wall. Think about how much that would hurt.

Now, imagine quadrupling that speed or more, and hitting a brick wall...then think about the kind of head injury you would have at THAT speed.

Yikes!

Hi, I wear belts always in every car.
not only for my own safety, also being an example for my kids.

"Elitism"

Oh the irony.
