Do you wear your seatbelt?

Only time i don't wear it is when i'm on private roads.

 

In for the Pics of the driver side chime deleted future tickets drama...

 

what do you mean I use those for drag racing, and when I put something heavy on the passenger seat because its annoying.

 

That's the driver side, so passenger seat is a no, and I don't see any provisions for a 5-point, which would not be required in any class a Tacoma could compete in, so I'm calling BS.
You just prefer not to wear your belt.
That's fine.

 

what?

 

Always have, always will.

 

The poll doesnt fit my answer, I wear my seatbelt because I caged my truck for a reason

 

I don't, I know I should, but I don't.

 

Make sure to tell your family you love them each time you leave the house.

 

"Click it or Ticket" here in SUNSHINE state

I DRIVE for a living and the $hit I have seen will/should tell you to WEAR IT........

I am a "roll-over" survivor because of my seatbelt;Took my VW up a snow bank then onto its roof before resting onto the passenger side. All at the bright age of 16..

 

Having seen the utter destruction that is caused by not wearing one in the 21 years on the job I know full well the consequences of not wearing one. Will it protect you 100% of the time? No. Will it increase your odds of survival in a vehicle accident? Yes.

Our Fire Apparatus doesn't move until everyone is buckled up and neither does my personal truck. Anyone that doesn't.... it's a matter of when, not if.

 

No choice,the fine up here is...I think around 200.00 for the driver and 75.00 for anyone that's not hooked up (passenger).Under 16 the driver gets the extra fine.

later tig1

 

always

 

For me it's a risk gain assessment. Very little effort to put it on but high risk not to. Therefore, I always wear it unless I'm on a small private road or something.
I do not require adult passengers to put theirs on. I have the same little plugin thing as OP for when they choose not to wear it. That way the truck doesn't beep.
I'm really not big on seatbelts being a law, but I understand that insurance costs would be a bit higher if it wasn't.

 

I do everyday.

 

I'm not a fan of it but I always put it on. I also force my passengers to because its my ticket here and points on my license not theres

 

Smashed my face on a windshield when I was 16. Did it again when I was 18. (I know, explains a lot, right?) Both times as a passenger.

I wear it ALL the time now. Make everyone else wear one, too.

 

Having heard about my family friends scalp being peeled off of his head after going through his wind shield you bet I have it on...

 

I made a relatively new '85 chevy cavalier rental do a cartwheel with a half twist or something like that. I hit a driveway across a deep ditch and ended up facing the opposite direction. Broke out all the glass in the car, had dents all over the place, etc. TOTALLED !!! I wasn't wearing a seatbelt. I climbed out of that wreck with a small scratch on my leg that the seat belt would not have prevented.

Much later in life, at 35 mph, I T-Boned an 80 year old lady that made a left turn into oncoming traffic (nothing I could do but slam on the brakes and lock the wheels up). I was able to drive my 2001 Dodge Dakota away, but the old woman's Camry was history. I think she was a bit stunned but otherwise ok. The air bags did not deploy, I guess I had 1/2 a second to slow down(very quick reflexes). Again no seat belt and no injuries.

I NEVER wore a seatbelt until I got my Tacoma. The ONLY reasons I even consider wearing it now are the annoying beeping if I do not put it on and the constant threat of the seat belt Nazis ticketing me for "endangering" only myself by not wearing it.

Two major collisions with no seat belt and I am just fine. As long as I'm not "endangering" anyone else I should not be required by law to wear it.

Just my $0.02 worth.
