    Always put my belt on. If you're a passenger in my car, you either put your seatbelt on, or you walk to where you're going.

    *edit*

    What car was it voicy? :/
    The difference between pizza and your opinion is that I asked for pizza.

    Hey guys,

    I was at an accident scene today on the N2 where 2 people died after been flung from the vehicle. I tried to help one of them before he passed away. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt and had his whole ear ripped off and I could see his skull.

    So yeah, buckle up.

    EDIT: Green_Orb, it was a Corsa 1.6GSi...Rolled it on a wet gravel patch around a bend @3am on a trip back from CT.

    :O

    Wow Voicy, sorry to hear that but at least you are okay. But eish, why driving from CT at 3am?

    I always wear my seatbelt and insist that others do as well. I won't move the car until everyone is safe because you never know what the other people on the road are going to do, even if you're a 'good driver'.

    What is Uncomfortable about it? The more you put it on the more natural it feels, also if you drive like a maniac it will keep you in your seat.

    When I go on long trips I always leave early morning. That way you have 2hrs of darkness and the rest of the trip light.

    But yeah - it's not about how well YOU can drive, it's about the other idiot who overtakes in on-coming traffic and has someone swerving onto you. My colleague was hospitalized for 2 months last year when 2 oncoming trucks were overtaking on a blind rise forcing him to swerve off the road. Rolled his bakkie and wrote it off.

    To add to that accident on Tuesday morning. The 26yr old mother wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was flung from the vehicle. When I stopped to help I found her body wrapped around a barrier post with her 3yr old son crying next to her body.

    Seatbelts are there for a reason. Use them. If you don't believe me - just let a buddy drive 30kmh with you in the backseat of the car and slam on brakes. See what happens.

    I have a video of a bakkie rolling and when you see the body's being flung out the windows I think you will quickly change your mind about not wearing a seat belt.
