    I’ve been in two crashes where nobody was hurt but probably somebody would have died if they weren’t wearing a seatbelt.

    Make everyone always wear their safety gear, be it in the car, on the bike, at the workplace. Make them. Always. Do not allow anyone to omit anytime, never ever.

    Anon could be fucking his happy girlfriend of five years right now if he had followed this simple rule.

      Also, never let your passenger put their feet up on the dashboard. Unless they want their lungs punctured by their own tibia.

      I dated someone a long time ago and when they first got into my car, I waited for them to put their seatvrlt on. They refused. I told them the car isn’t moving until their seatbelt is on, and if they take it off, the car stops.

      Wow you’re a dick. Imagine forcing people to do something. Instead you should just boot them out of said vehicle if they don’t want to wear one.

      Your way is the dictatorial cretin way.

      In my country the driver is liable for passengers not wearing their seatbelt. The fine is around €60 per passenger. Most people just pay this back to the driver, but if somebody decides not to, the driver can’t do anything about that.

    Well I don’t understand why people don’t wear seat belts. Isn’t that even illegal? In Germany the driver can be hold accountable for people not wearing the seat belts.

      Child mentality. They claim the seatbelt is annoying on the neck or big government things. Perhaps, but being an adult is also about doing what is nessesary for you and your family.
