It should be, but in a world where people don't vaccinate their children because they believe that viruses doesn't exist, a lot of people seem to be able to live without a brain.

I used to know someone with a car with a beeping reminder to put on your seatbelt. She would put on the seatbelt to stop the beeping then take it right back off -- when I asked her why she did that: "It's too uncomfortable". I said "Won't it be less comfortable when your head crashes through the windshield in an accident?" She kind of laughed.... and never gave me a ride again.

Important note - Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed and the driver of their car were not wearing seatbelts. Had those in the rear been used there is a very good chance they would have survived. Diana died due to internal injuries, Dodi was flung forward between the front seats.

They are really an amazing invention when you think about it. They’re soft, comfortable, flimsy things and then with just enough speed and motion they turn into straps of steel that can stop an insane amount force.. Pretty brilliant.

I agree I was in a car accident when I was really young...Had I not been wearing the seat belt...I would have flown out the window. Another thing... Why is everyone saying wear you're seat belt when most of our own SCHOOL BUSES don't have seat belts, one day our bus was changed out, and this one had seat belts on it, I was happy and buckled up, the other kids didn't and when they saw me strapping on the seat belt, they said, "Esther, why are you putting on your seat belt? Lol." And they laughed at me. I wasn't upset because I knew if something happened, I'd be safe. Another time the bus I was on slid of the road, and nobody was wearing seat belts. The bus didn't tip over but, I wouldn't have been as scared if the bus had seat belts. So school buses should have seat belts too. Not just cars.

I heard Dutch people don't shave their penis head is this true

Same to me. My parents were very strict with that but unfortunately my uncles and aunts not so i always felt very uncomfortable when my cousins didnt seaten their belt and nobody said anything except me...

I always wear my seatbelt because I'm tired of hearing the dashboard chime going off whining that I forgot to click it.

I put my on as soon as my bum hits the seat. My 12 year old will tell me off if I start the car before she has hers on, even if I'm just backing out of the garage.

I never told my kids to put on a seatbelt i told them to make sure the driver didnt move the car before it was on. Took the focus off the belt, they knew they had limited power over the driver so they were usually pretty fast about getting the belt on.

I refuse to even start the vehicle if my kids don't buckle up! Even when they were still in car seats. No belt, no movement. Sorry. I would much rather treat a wound, than to mourn the death of some one who refused to wear the seat belt
