So do you guys wear the every time you go for a driver or just driving somewhere?
Do you also make your passengers wear theirs when they don't put it on?

I get into the car and start engine and put on my seatbelt, I do this automatically not even thinking about it.
 
Dude are you bored go to bed:p

I put on my seatbelt all the time like a machine:p
 
I dont :(,I just forget..

But when I see a police roadblock I grab that seatbelt faster than a cowboy draws his pistol :D
 
I always put on my seatbelt, except if I had do undo it to unlock the gate or summat and there's like a 1m drive to our parking spot. My mom always insists that everyone in the car wears their seatbelt, so I get that habit from her.
 
it's a habit in my own car, or anyone else that I drive with that put it on automatically when sitting up front.
if I am in the back usually don't, unless its a kuck driver.
If you have airbags in your car, it is a must to put it on, you do not want to be flying face first into a airbag with no seatbelt to hold you back.
 
I dont wear a seatie. BUt i Put on my harnass when I go to the track

Same.

It saved my bacon when I rolled my 2month old car. :/
 
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? :/
 
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.
 
People always flout the one in a million type story of seatbelts being cause of death... those people need to learn what statistics are...
 
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.
