So, I dont understand why is it hard for some people to wear seat belts? I'm 22 and am at that "immature age till i'm 25" or "some street racer" because i drive a nice car and again at that age, but ever since i started driving when i was 15, i always felt like i should wear my seat belt or even if i was in the passenger seat. It takes less then 15 seconds to do and it might even be a life saver. Do you wear your seat belt whether its short distances or long?

Do you always wear your seat belt? Have you ever gotten any tickets for not wearing it or even been pulled over? what are your thoughts on this topic?

I had this thought after i i read

It's quite sad and hopefully the baby makes a full recovery.

I fully agree with you. It's the first thing I do when I get in the car. It takes less than 5 seconds to do. I have friends that don't put it on and they've gotten tickets. It doesn't matter if you are a safe driver because there are a lot of poor driver/bad luck people out there sharing the road with you.

Oh dear god I saw that article this morning. It really sucks

I wear my seatbelt even if Im just moving a car out of the driveway to get mine out of the garage.

Honestly, if you dont wear your seatbelt your an idiot. I dont care who you are.

Seatbelts are an absolute must in my car. I never used to think about it before because it's just routine for me to start the car, put on the seatbelt, then put the car into gear. But I have a cousin who never used to put it on, and now he does because he drives a newer Passat with the seatbelt warning indicator (he used to drive an older Civic hatch and an older Pathfinder.

I can't believe the drivers of the other car just fled the scene. How could anyone just leave them like that?

Not seeing where it said they weren't wearing seatbelts?

I ALWAYS wear my seat belt. Its simple and does not take long to do simply buckle your seat belt even if you are just a passenger. Seat belts do save lives.

In my opinion, if you're the driver then you have the responsibility to make sure everyone in your car is wearing the seat belt.

lol, I do that too out of habit. I'm too used to it and feel naked without a seat belt.

For those people that don't wear it while I'm driving, I just let the dings annoy them :-) There are some people that think it's OK to not wear a seat belt in the back though.

An fortunate update to this story, the baby that was born prematurely due to the accident has passed away. Luckily, it seems that they have identified the driver of the car that hit them and are looking for him.

Seat-belts are a must when I drive, I turn 21 in June and it's parament when I drive my 250 AWD or any of my family cars to wear a seat-belt.
