Do you always wear a seat belt when you are driving or Do you feel that you only need your cars airbags to keep you safe?

More so out of habit than anything else. Here's something I always wondered, though. How come cars aren't manufactured to where you have to have the seatbelt on to shift the car out of park?

I do most of the time. If I'm just going a mile or two down the road I normally don't bother with it.

Because people will just fasten the seatbelt behind them. I do this in our Windstar because the annoying chimer doesn't go off until you fasten your seatbelt.

Yep, sure do. Both vehicles ding at you if the seatbelt isn't buckled.

If you're going to take the few seconds involved to fasten your seatbelt, why not fasten it the right/legal way?

Always do. The parents beat it into my siblings and my heads ever since we were young enough to do it ourselves, so much that I'll fasten my seatbelt when I am just moving my car 10 feet. It's involuntary.

If going a mile to the store, no. Other than that, yes.

Sure do. If anyone is in the car I force them to put it on too, or I won't start driving.

I never choose too. Its my decision to take my life in my own hands and others. I dont do it cause of personal reasons and figure if its meant to be dont matter if I have it on or not.

Out of habit I always do unless I'm sitting in the back. And most of the time I wear it back there as well.

I normally do, but if I know I'm not going anywhere but to work all week (3 miles), I just leave it fastened all week.
