Default Seat Belts or No Seat Belts

Alot of good points have been raised on this one, just curious what the ratio between them is. Regardless of why, do you or do you not use seat belts.

I wear mine because I get enough tickets for speeding....don't need to add tickets for not wearing a seat belt to the mix.

I always wear mine. Yes I've hard the stories about the of case where someone would have been better off without a seatbelt and while many of these stories are completely valid, these situations are far less common than those where a seatbelt couldl saved someone's life or significantly reduce injuries, so I wear it.

The only time i don't wear mine is when I'm coming home from the 7-11 on the corner; about 150 yards away on a side street. Race car drivers wear seat belts, so should you.

I use mine to hook the car jackers and drag them down the road.

I ALWAYS wear my seatbelt if my car moves more then 10 feet with me behind the wheel!

Everyone should!

It's like a habit that I do everytime I get in without thinking about it... Car on, seatbelt on, windows down, tcs off, o/d off, stereo UP, reverse engaged then off i go

I am a big advocate for seatbelts. They are there, so use them. There are too many idiots on the road for me to 'gamble' by not wearing a seatbelt.

I use mine most of the time, but for the short trips, less then a mile, subdivision streets, i sometimes leave it off.

I even went through the steps to stop the "Belt minder" chime. (buckle and unbuckle 9 times, wait for light to flash, buckle and unbuckle) (instructions are in the manual)
