do you wear your seatbelt when you're in the car?

Here in Malaysia its a law to wear seatbelt for the driver and co-driver seats. whereas for the passengers' seat, its yet a law to have the seatbelts on. so, generally the passengers here don't wear their seat belts. So, if im driving or in the co-driver's seat i'll put on my seat belts because i don't want to have a ticket from the police :)

yea,they passed that law here a few years ago. sometimes i wish they made exceptions though,when i had surgery recently the belt laid right on the area,but i still put it on so my brother wouldn't get a ticket.i ended up putting my arm under the belt to space it.

though it is part of a law on most countries, but this is for our own safety that we need to practice putting seat belt everytime we are in a car especially if we are going to travel a long journey.

of course.. i don't want to get caught without seatbelt on. afterall i feel safer than not wearing it

Yes bussy I wear my seat belt...It is the law where I live and I remember to put it on everytime..:)

The answer is yes,we do wear seabelt. I often think it is meaningless,but according to the survey,there are more accident when people don't wear seatbelt.Then it is may usefull when there is a danger. Though wear seatbelt is uncomfortable,but we should do for the purpose of our safety.

It is a law here that we are suppose to wear them. When I am driving with my kids we all wear our seat belts. But when I am driving without my kids I don't always wear one. I know I should, but I just don't. Sometimes I forget to put it on and other times I just don't take the time.

Yes this law is also in my hometown and sometimes(once in a while),they randomly have the checkings also. And if you fond not using seat-belts then they will ask for penalty. I dont think that this law is strictly adhered to. Actually law is driver as well as the person accompaning him on front seat shoud use seat-belt.

i always wear seatbelt when drive...i also make sure that my passengers are wearing seatbelt too...when i was in the philippines seatbelts weren't that enforced...it was just a display on our car...people actually laugh at you when you try to use it...now that i got here in the states..i cant leave a parking lot unless everybody buckled up. buckle up to keep the cops away!!!

In my country, it is a must to put on seat belts on the front seats. A few years ago, the passengers on the back seats are required to put on seat belts as well. However, the law for back seats is not tightly enforced so not many people put on seat belts on the back seats.

Yes i wear my seat belt when in a car driving or in the passenger side. Seat belt is required in the state of NC. So if you don't wear you seat belt you will get a ticket if you caught.

yes, here in the Philippines, it has the same law....we have to use our seatbelts to prevent accidents.....i'm wearing seat belts everytime i am in the car, coz i feel safer if i wear it...

Always, its the one thing that will protect me in an accident. Luck runs out and chance is a card in monopoly.

Although it is not against the law to go without a seatbelt in my hometown, I don't think it is the smartest idea. First off, any civil suit you put forth to pay for medical bills would most likely be shot down because your seatbelt would prevent so much bodily injury. Second, is it really worth risking your life or the life of the other people in the car? To expand upon that point, the seatbelt not only protects you from injury, but also allows you to stay in your seat when in a crash. This is a critical point because if your not in your seat, who is in control of the vehicle? I would rather play it safe then lose my life over such a little nuisance. ~Phreakuency

i do wear my seatbelts when i ride a car and i remind my passenger to do the same. whether it is the law or not , it is better to be safe than never. you can never be sure of what's going to happen once you are inside a moving car.

Hi there Bussy! It is the law here in the Philippines that the driver and the person sitting in the passenger seat should wear the seatbelt and I do whenever I am sitting in the passenger seat.

It is the law here in the u.k and has been for about 20 years I have got so used to putting my seatbelt on I could not drive without it.

yes, i do. i feel safer with it. we have a law here too in the philippines to use seatbelts and they would fine us if we dont follow it!

It's a law to wear seatbelts where we live too. Though I will admit that we often do not where them. Seatbelts make me terribly uncomfortable so I often just leave it off. We do make our child where his seatbelt though. I have always felt that it should be your choice once you are an adult however.

Here in United Kingdom it is law to wear a seatbelt in the car at all times. When we get into the car we ensure that we and the children are all seat belted in and we don't drive off until everyone is safty in there seats with there belts on. I want to be safe and I want my children to be as safe as possible so they wear the correct belt and sit in the correct car seats. It is so much better to take those extra few seconds and be safe rather than sorry.
