Yes unless I'm on a coach trip overnight. I hate sleeping with a lap belt on.

I always wear my seatbelt except when it's a long trip. Because I live in Montreal and every year I go to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina so after a long time I take it off bacause it's 2 days of car :roll:

I like to stick my head out the window like a dog, so not often.

I always wear my seatbelt. Not only is it common sense, but it's also the law. "Click it or ticket" as the billboards and commercials say.

Wed Jul 27, 2005 9:03 pm

Yes, for the most part. Occasionally I take it off to get something from the trunk or move, or if we're just driving down the street to pick someone up or something.

Always, unless in my truck because it doesn't have them.

I always wear mine. After reading every single fatal crash report in my state for 5 years, it's kind of a given that I would. Although I didn't start wearing it until I was 16 and started driving. Being a child of the 80s, I used to stand up in the backseat, sleep in the cargo areas, etc. I cringe when I remember those days now, as I'm a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician.

Always. Unless I need to take it off for a split second to get something out of reach. It feels weird without it, and of course it'd be that one time I didn't wear it that I was in a car accident and died.

Always. Not on busses though because they don't have them. And not all the time on planes because if the plane goes down, I'm dead, with or without seatbelts.

I wear them when I sit in the front, in the back seat of cars I tend not to unless my little niece says "seat belt put seat belt on" then I have to. She does it when she's tired of being tied to her car seat and wants everyone else to suffer as well. I end up putting it on and point out anyone else who doesn't have theirs on so she can bug them about buckling up. Once she starts telling you to put the seat belt on she won't stop repeating the same phrase over and over and over.

Seat belts saved my life one time when we rolled over in our car so I'm pro them :P

Yes, always. Unless:

I used to put the top strap behind my back though cause I was too short/it felt weird. :oops:

I usually wear it, but not so often when I'm in the back seat of the car.

Thu Jul 28, 2005 12:37 am

Ah, I used to refuse wearing my proper seatbelt- I preferred the "parcel" seatbelt, you know, the one you usually find in the middle back seat of older cars? Well, our old family car had that on captain chairs. But anyway, I begrudgingly switched to the proper one sometime later on, and I always wear my seatbelt now.

That is, unless I'm in Hong Kong in a taxi. They have all these seatbelt signs plastered all over, but frankly no one cares and a lot of taxis don't even have them anyway. XP

The only two times I ever wear a seatbelt are 1) when I'm in our car and my dad's driving and 2) when I'm in a plane and my dad's there. I don't do my belt in busses (it says you have to, but everyone ignores that,) in cabs (I'd have to wear that too if my father was with me, but usually I only take taxis when I'm alone,) and I don't even do it up in the plane if my parents aren't there. I mean, I'll do it at the beginning and end because the air hostess tells me to, but it's off in the middle of the ride.

always wear my seatbelt, usually i refuse to stop messing around unless everyone else is too :)
having become oddly attached to this mortal coil and all.
