Seat belts yes or no?

I never wear mine..


    




Kiayshi
Seat belts is a very controversial issue.. sometimes they help in saving people and unfortunately they also sometimes hurt people..

Personally I always wear my seat belt and I don't allow the car to move until everyone is buckled up but contrary to popular belief it isn't completely the law to wear a seat belt... you would have to check with your local DPS/DMV to find out the state law, but in Texas the law is that the Driver and the front passenger must always be buckled, but passengers in the back seat don't have to be buckled after the age of 15...

Seat belts saved my son & my life when a car ran a red light & I broad sided her.

As an RN,I have seen so many people killed because they were decapitated by being thrown from their car or the little kids with spinal fluid flowing out their ears with a broken neck, or the drivers that smash their head into the windshield or steering wheel and their skull broken with brain damage. That should be why you should wear yours or see ya soon!


MadeIn84
Yup. Whether I'm driving, in the passenger side or the backseat. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

i always wear mine. i have never been in a crash but i know plenty of people that have and there injuries ould have been worse if they didnt wear a seatbelt.

I use to not wear my seat belt, until one day I was downtown about to leave the bar and I decided to put on my seatbelt, but my cousin didn't, as we were on the freeway driving home, we were going about 70 mph and a car cut us off and clipped my front end and we ended up hitting the way and flipping over 2x. When the car finished sliding, we got out the car, my cousin had a big gash in his head, I didn't have a scratch. Every since then I wear my seat belt.

It is against the law in many states to be 'belt-less'.

It is a proven fact that lives have been saved because of people wearing their seat belts. I hope we don't see your name in the paper one of these days!

YES. Its not big or smart not to wear one.I dont want your head through my windscreen.


tweeteebrrd
Put on your seatbelt! It could save your life. You family will thank you!

You definately should. It could be a matter of life and death. You might say well I've never been in an accident but that is why we call tham accidents cause you never know when they are going to happen. You can't plan on them happening. I always say, "I'd rather be safe then sorry."

what kind of question is this?? of course YES. seat belts save lives EVERYDAY. i dont understand ppl that dont wear them...it takes about a whole 2-3 seconds to snap one on and if you happen to get into an accident then theres a chance for your life to be saved. my older died in a car accident and i think its sooo important to teach drivers that responsibility of driving and using good logic and safety procedures...you should rethink driving without a selt belt....c'mon its soo easy to use one./

Ticket, injury, or die.

Wear it It just might keep you alive if your in an accident.
Don't depend on that Air bag to keep you from "impaling youself on the Steering Colum that is why you have both there have been enough studies to show that wearing a seatbelt SAVES lives that this discussion is actually pointless. It is the Law as far a I know in All states that you must wear a seatbelt . So Just wear it get in the habit of not starting the car untill all popple in the Car are buckled up including you. and make it stick.

I never wore mine either but I work as an RN in a LEVEL 1 TRAUMA center in a large city and every day lives change or end because they did not were their seat belts. Most of the time death results... a very messy broken bloody body because of ejection from the vehicle others live but without arms, legs or are mentally disabled or unable to ever walk again from impacts, crushing, being ejected. Peoples age range from unbelted children to our elderly so no one is immune its a sad thing because we could avoid so much pain to ourselves or to our loved ones. I have to console too many family members of the broken and dead when all they needed was a seltbelt.
