for me it depends on whether or not there's a cop around.

SeatBelts - Always wear your seatbelt.
I always wear my seatbelt. I wont pull away until everyone in the car has one on. It isnt worth the risk not to wear one. Plus a ticket for not wearing one is pretty expensive lol.

A lot of people are like that- and thats great- for the most part i guess I'm just used to not wearing one after driving all these years not really having to wear one,

I always wear a seatbelt and pretty much require anyone riding in my car to wear one also. The only person that I don't absolutely make wear a seatbelt in my car is my father-in-law! He refuses to wear one.

I always wear a seatbelt as it has saved me many a time when inconsiderate People have decided to play Bumper Cars with me whether I wanted to play or not and if it would not have been for the Seatbelt 10 years ago I might not be here now.

I always make a big deal out of making sure all my kids are wearing their seatbelts before we pull out of the driveway. I make sure I always have mine on too otherwise I wouldn't be setting a very good example, besides, I'm affraid of getting that seatbelt ticket!

Hi, I always wear my seatbelt! It's not worth the points on your licence and then an increase on your insurance for not wearing it! A few of my friends refuse to wear them as they think it's against their 'human rights'! I would always rather be safe than sorry to be honest! They've just got stricter in this country on childrens seatbelts which is good but there's nothing worse than seeing kids rolling about the back parcel shelf!

I do all the time even for the shortest trips. It is because when I lived in Germany the cops were so strict when they were driving along side you they would look over and if you were not wearing your seat belt they stopped you right there and then and no excuses got you from having to pay a fine. I got so paranoid be because the first time the cop in the passengers seat waved over at me I thought he was being friendly so I waved back...my lack of the German language at that time did not help. They thought I was being a smart @ss so I got fined

I always wear my seatbelt. I am very nervous when it comes to riding in a vehicle. I dont much think i could ride in a vehicle without my seat on anymore.

I always wear my seatbealt, it's for my safety and I don't get why shouldn't I wear it (aside from the fact non wearing it is against law). My car has airbags (all the new cars do) and if airbags explodes when you are not wearing a seatbelt you could die because of the airbag explosion.
