Its hard to say because it has been a legal requirement to wear a seat belt in the UK since about 1983, so I suppose you just get used to it. BUT, if passengers in the back dont wear one and the car is involved in a crash - even if people in the front seat are wearing seat belts they could still be crushed to death by the person in the back not wearing a seat belt. So I suppose we should all buckle up whether in the front or back.

Yes I would always wear a seatbelt. It's the first thing I do when I get into a car and I feel somehow naked till it's on.

Oh yes, I always wear my seatbelt now. I didn't used to, but a friend of mind is a nurse in the Hospital Emergency Room. She told me horror stories about people who were brought in and the injuries they sustained since they weren't wearing theirs. I did not want to be one of those statistics. Plus, it is against the law NOT to wear one!!!

To tell you the truth - I never do - even when I am driving. And I drive around in an open Jeep most of the time.

Dunno where your driving but Backseat belts aren't a law unless your under a certain weight or age. Front seat only is only regulated. And yes Id wear them, But I have a magnetic seat belt cutter on my dash board just incase. Too many movies about people being trapped in their seat belts and drowning or burning.

Yes of course. Even a minor accident without a seat belt can send you flying into hard objects in the car or through the windshield. Just watch the news, most deadly accidents that happen include someone not wearing a seat belt. I'll never forget about the woman I learned about in psychology class. She unbuckled her belt to get something on the floor, and just when she did, her boyfriend crashed. She went flying through the windshield, smashing her head on the ground. Her brain was so damaged, that her personality and life was completely changed for the worst. She would actually request sexual favors from family members because the parts of her brain that control her self control were gone. People think that "oh I won't crash" or "I'll just fly out of the windshield and get up laughing it off" But they're just fooling themselves. Death is NOT the worst thing in life. It's living after a severe brain injury or crippling physical injury. Imagine if you broke your neck? What do you expect your family to have to take care of you, wiping your butt, feeding you, sponge bathing you, and basically doing everything for you for the rest of your life? There's so much more on the line that "its my own life, I'll risk it if I want".

In 1977 I was in an automobile accident and was buckled up sitting in the front passenger seat. the driver also buckled as well as the two in the back. My seatbelt jammed and I was trapped but remained calm all up to the point where everyone except me was out of the car and it caught on fire. Panic of burning to death is a understatement. A farmer not far away seen the accident and if it had not been for him carrying a knife and cutting the belt free I would have been burned alive. I wear one now because it is the law but seat-belts have their pros and cons. They save lives true but they take them as well but of course they will not advertise the down-side when saying they want you to wear them. If it were not the law no I would not wear them - not because i think it is cool but for the fact being in them scare the hell out of me.

Yes. I've read too many stories about how people would have lived if they had done so. With all the crazies on the road, it's the best defense.

Yes, I would.
