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.

So, nerdogray, I’ll unapologetically question your intelligence. All the reasoning you give for setting yourself up to become a burden on society, whether you have anyone depending on you or not, is straight up STUPID!!
