Do you wear your seat belt? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice · 12-25-2006, 01:52 AM

I always do, even if I'm only driving around the corner. I will admit though, that I didn't start wearing it all the time until I was in my 30s.

What did it for me was Princess Diana's death. Four people in the car, and the only survivor was the only person wearing a seat belt...and he was sitting in the dangerous front passenger seat.

always... it boggles my mind to think that anyone nowadays would not wear a seatbelt.

Brian Damage · 12-25-2006, 01:55 AM

I always wear my seatbelt. It is just habit now. I was like you Janice, when I first started driving, I use to never wear one. However, ever since they made it a law, I never drive without strapping in.

Dutabi84 · 12-25-2006, 01:58 AM

Always have. It just feels weird not having it on, even if the car is just sitting there.

It's true. I give you a lot of credit. You're young, and you know how important it is. I don't know what I was thinking...I wasn't thinking.

dlemond · 12-25-2006, 02:03 AM

Yes.

I cant even get out of the driveway without my daughter yelling- "did you put your seatbelt on?!"

God love her.

Mr. Stefani · 12-25-2006, 02:05 AM

Always. My grandma and uncle would be alive today had they been wearing theirs. Something that takes 2 seconds to do can save your life, dont take it for granted.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 12-25-2006, 02:34 AM

Yep. I feel all awkward if I'm not wearing it.

moeee · 12-25-2006, 02:58 AM

I sure do. Better to be safe than sorry.

Brent88 · 12-25-2006, 03:31 AM

Always have, always will. I was taught at a young age to always wear it, and now that I drive on my own, that hasn't changed.

dawsongirl · 12-25-2006, 03:45 AM

Always, though a couple days ago, I was sitting in the back and got lazy and didn't put it on. But I always wear it in the front seats.

jie3 · 12-25-2006, 03:52 AM

I always wear it, but I've got to admit, if I'm in a hurry I sometimes put it on whilest (or just after) pulling away, which I suppose is quite dangerous. I need to try and get out of that habit.

Yes, I do. I didn't when I first started driving, but when the law was passed that you can get a ticket for driving without one, I started using it.

Brad Russ · 12-25-2006, 04:34 AM

Yep!! Can't even remember the last time I rode in a car without my seat belt. Don't think I ever have actually.
