Let's hear it....

I always do while driving and riding in the front. It has saved my life several times.

Example: My car flipped twice and then rolled twice in an interstate accident. I was able to get out of my car and walk away with simply stitches in my hand and elbow from broken glass.

Almost Always.

I'd say a good 95% of the time I do.

Yeah. Both of my vehicles start dinging at me if I don't put it on and start driving.

I posted this in light of the recent deaths of the teenagers at Dublin Scioto High School who were thrown form the vehicle and obviously not wearing seatbelts which could have prevented their deaths.

Yes almost all of the time. It's like my momma always said, "better safe than sorry".

seatbelts kill... under 25 mph they work, above they can kill you.

I hated it when they legislated that seatbelts were required. But, since the day I brought my son home from the hospital, I have worn mine every time I get in the car. I figure if I don't set the example that they are required, he'll think they are optional. He is now on his temps and knows, without question, that the first thing you do is put your seltbelt on. The news of the Scioto kids' deaths made me physically ill and I pray that he does the right thing anytime he's driving once he's on his own.

I remember when I first started driving. One day, I got in and started it up and went on my way. I totally forgot about putting my seat belt on. Well, sure enough, soon after I hit the main road, someone pulled out in front of me and I had to apply hard pressure to the brakes. Well, I slid forward in my seat and up against the steering wheel. I was like, what the? Then it hit me... I forgot put my seat belt on. I can only imagine if I had hit the person. Straight through the windshield I would've went.

I don't when I am just going somewhere in town. If I leave town or on interstates I do.
