I always wear mine. I just don't feel safe without it. I bug my husband because he doesn't usually wear his. Our 4 year old has been getting on his case to wear it too, so now he's starting to wear it when we are in the car with him.

sure I always wear seat belt, except when sometimes I forget. I believe it may save our lives when something unexpected happens

I always wear my seat belt, every time, without fail. I insist that all my passengers wear theirs also.

I've been wearing my seat belt consistently ever since I rolled a car in 1994 and the first thing the paramedic said to me was, "it's a good thing you had your seat belt on, otherwise you'd have a broken back." Well, I didn't have it on . . . I just said that so the cop wouldn't give me a ticket. The laws for seat belt use has become very strict here, but I'd still wear mine even if it wasn't. I think I was very lucky that time and I can't say for sure that kind of luck will always follow me.

I wear my seatbelt every single time. Heck in my state, its the law! I've actually been in a car when someone got a ticket for that as well as the moving violation that precipitated the stop.
It's weird. My great-grandmother, may she rest in peace, would NEVER wear one. She lived on the West Coast, around San Diego, and was afraid of being in a car that went off the road into the Ocean. She felt the strap would keep her in and not let her escape drowning. It's odd the irrational fears and thoughts that come up due to a SAFETY feature.
