Always. Doesn't matter who's driving, idiots on the road all the time. I always, compare the local roads to that scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Han Solo flies into the asteroid field.

After viewing this commercial about a year ago I started wearing my seatbelt constantly. I usually only wore it when I was with my mom or grandfather, or in my friend's vehicle.
Where I live it is illegal not to wear one, so I do. Also, I make other people in my car wear them at all times. If a passenger doesn't wear one, the driver gets fined!

Oh, also I've been in a head-on collision and I was the driver, I escaped with minor chest bruises. The car was totalled. If I didn't have a seatbelt on I probably would have been launched straight through the front window and would not be typing this today.

The only thing wrong with the video is that the people who didn't wear the belts are still in their seats after hitting a tree, and their bodies are intact. Both of these things are rare for non-seatbelt wearers. I guess there's a limit to the amount of gore you can show on TV though.

There were some pretty epic bus stop ads, involving about a gallon more blood then I thought was allowed.

Yes, I wear it.

yes but it shouldn't be illegal people should have it at there own descrestion now that everybody knows the dangers exept those that refuse to learn
Why not have it be law?

Smoking is a wonderful example of people misusing their own discretion.

Besides, there is NO REASON to not wear a seat belt.

Where I am it's illegal not to, and as I'm (just) under 21 a seatbelt infringement coupled with anything else will cost me $250+whatever the other infringement costs and my license. Nobody gets a ride with me unless they're wearing their seatbelt, on fear of death (death unrelated to any potential accidents, if I lose my license on account of somebody else being a dick head I will not be impressed, as would be the case if anyone under 18 wasn't wearing it).

Jesus Christ! That's a retarded commercial. I wear my seat belt all the time but it took me 2 $100 tickets to learn my lesson.

I always do mainly for safety and partially because its the law and a ticketable offence. (but mainly for safety)

Every time I get in my car I put the belt on, more habit now than anything but I don't feel right without it nowdays.

Anyone who doesn't wear a seatbelt is complete moron. Sorry but there is no arguing this. Even if you are a perfect driver you can still get in accidents caused by other people. Wearing a seatbelt saves your life. I can speak from experience. I would be dead right now without having worn a seatbelt.

You people that aren't wearing seatbelts aren't accomplishing anything but bringing yourself that much closer to death.

Unbelievable.

All of the time, it's not like it's difficult to do or anything so why not be that little bit more safe.

I remember my Mum telling me when they first brought in seat-belts that everyone refused to put it on, even the taxi drivers refused to drive you anywhere if you had it on.
