In my country, we don't have a law for that. But I think it is good to make a law for wearing safety belt. Here some drivers wear it, but passengers seldom wear .

Hello,
In the UK it's the law that everyone must wear a seat belt. Everyone should remember, the clue is in the name 'safety belt'.
It's there to help keep you safe and it could save your life or the life of your passengers.
So no-one can really complain about that.
Have a safe day.

Yes, I have the habit of wearing safety belt when in a moving car. Whether I am a driver or a passenger I still wear safety belt. In fact it is mandatory to wear safety belt even for back seat passengers. It is also for our own protection. As for buses however, passengers are exempted with its driver still compulsory.It is better to be safe than sorry later. So buckle up.

It is the law here to wear the seat belt when you are the driver or the passenger in a car. So, of course I wear my seat belt when I get in the car. This is something that is very automatic to me. I open the door, get into the car and I will put on my seat belt before I will even turn on the keys to the car.
I do know that the fine for not wearing your seat belt when you are in the car is not a high fine, but I feel like my life is very valuable and that is the reason that I do choose to follow the law all the time.

It is a law here, but sometimes I still don't wear it. When I am in someone else's car, I do. I believe they can be fined if I don't. In my car, the belt is hard to get to and I am usually not going far enough. I know they say most accidents happen close to home, and sometimes I do, but not always.

I do wear mine, always, both because I want to be safe and because it is the law.

In my country, it is the law that everyone who is in the car has to wear a seat belt, and I have to admit that I think this is an excellent idea because of the fact that there are so many people who get injured on the roads every single day in this country. I had a friend who lost his life because he had not been wearing his seat belt, and they say that his life would probably have been saved if he had been wearing it. They are not all that uncomfortable, and this means that just a little bit of effort at the beginning of each journey really could save your life.

Yes, i wear every time i put myself inside my car or other people car no matter i am the driver or not. It is against state traffic law if i do not put on my seat belt, i don't like to receive a violation ticket from traffic cop neither do i want my friend to get one because of my refusal to buckle up. I'm afraid my stubborn will land my friend in trouble; so i buckle up every time he/she is the driver.

It is a must and punishable so I never forget to fasten my seatbelt everytime I sit infront the wheel or at the passenger's side.

There is a law here in our country. However, the implementation usually end up in high end areas only and not the other places. But still, I make it a point that whenever I am driving, I am wearing the safety belt. But kind of ironic is, I don't wear seat belts when I am a passenger! I still have to learn that kind of habit.

Yes we must have that habit. Safe belts will play a vital role while accidents. During accidents most of the people die by slipping out of the vehicles, especially in hill side.
Personally I could say that I used to obey as it is a rule in our country.

Youless, nowadays the traffic office is very strict in my area here. If anyone of us are not wearing the safety belt while sitting in the car will get a summon. So, it is a must to practice wearing that safety belt, whenever we are in the car. No matter, we are traveling how near or far, it is a must to wear the safety belt.

Hi friend, Here is also people don't give more importance to it, but wearing seat belt is good for us. Previously wearing helmet while driving the two wheelers is a strict law here and lot of persons follow this one, but now this law is vanished and people don't give importance to the helmet
