    The only time when I do not wear is when I'm offroad. But I wear it any time I'm on the road.

    This reminds me of the "removed my head rests" or whatever thread.

    But the dude could see in his previously "blind" spots. Totally worth it.

    I don't think the "fear for my safety" is particularly accurate. I make a calculated decision that maybe a pound or two of force and a second or two is worth it, considering the potential outcomes of not wearing it.

    And I've personally responded to calls where I got/had to witness the outcome of not wearing a seatbelt, and having passengers in the truck bed. I've taken the crime scene photos and notified the parents.

    Even if you don't care about wearing your seatbelt, someone else probably cares a lot.

    Who in their right mind would pick a neck in one piece over a headrest? Morons.

    helmet law or no helmet law a smart rider will wear it no madder what! Along with at least a jacket and gloves, but usually true riding pants and come kinda boots that covers the ankle.(preferably riding boots, but they are hard to walk in and without changing foot wear could not be worn at work)
    My truck has never had the chime go off, but I still remember to buckle up.

    I always wear my seat belt because it makes me feel my truck is hugging me. All passengers are required to wear seat belts.

    I wear the seat belt if I'm driving on the road ... If I'm just putting through the woods I don't wear it

    I didn't see an answer that I could vote for

    I don't feel right unless the seatbelt is on. Plus, I've seen crashes with and without seatbelt use. Just a couple of extra seconds truly does save lives. BUCKLE UP!!

    They just passed a law in Hawaii that all occupants must wear a seat belt, even back seat. But its still legal to ride in the bed of a truck as long as you are over 12 years of age :rolleyes:

    Personally, I feel kinda naked without my seatbelt on :eek:

    I would say I fear for my safety....I realize the danger of not wearing a seatbelt.
