Everyday, it's the law.
-
Click it or ticket. I have and will always wear my seatbelt *unless we are on a bus without one*. I don't have kids but you bet that if I did, I'd make them wear one.
-
It is a natural reaction in the UK , the seatbelt law has been in place since before I could drive, and it is the drivers responsibility for the front seat passenger. Adult back seat passengers will have to pay their own fine but ALL children must be belted and correctly seated.
-
Always, sometimes I find myself putting it on when I'm just zooming around the parking lot to be close r to the next store lol!!! And nobody is going anywhere in my car unless we are ALL buckled up:-)
-
All the time. Occasionally something disturbs my climb-in routine, and I drive off without fastening it. Within 100 yards I feel very uncomfortable and nervous and have to stop to put it on. My kids have worn seatbelts in cars since they were born and wear them automatically.
-
Everytime I am in the automobile. I have no kids but anyone who rides uses them or doesn't ride.
-
Everytime I get in the car normally.. and hell yes!
-
When I get into a car it is a instinct reaction for me to put my seatbelt on. If putting a seatbelt on can save my life then I really think it's stupid not to wear it.
-
We always wear our seatbelts in the car. Even when we hop in the truck and drive to the back of the yard, it's automatic.
-
I wear it all the time.
-
I wear a seatbelt every time I'm in a car. Certainly I would require my children to wear them and I strongly advise other adults traveling with me to wear them, not only for their own safety but so they don't become a human projectile and take my head off in the event of a crash.
-
We have to use seabelts and children's seats. We always do it.
-
Every single time, no matter how short the trip. My kids are grown, but were required to wear them growing up - always. And that was long before the mandatory seat belt laws.
-
If the car is moving....seatbelts are fastened, everyone's.
-
My friend actually laughs at me, cause I put mine on even when we're just switching parking lots at the college. I don't have kids, but I do make my little brother. Technically, he would even if I didn't tell him to, but it's fun giving orders. XD
-
I always wear my seatbelt! I have to set a good example for my children. The children hate wearing them & we fight about it. If they get too much on my nerves w/the fighting I just get in the car & tell my older ones to WALK! They usually put it on in a hurry!
-
Every time I'm in my car and in someone else's car. I don't have children but I do make passengers in my car wear one.
-
I never put a seatbelt on. I have a weird fear of the car going into a lake or somthing and me not being able to get out in time.
-
100% of the time..and it is illegal not to here in Canada...We experienced a drop in death rates when it was enacted.
-
I wear mine all the time. My vehicle doesn't move until everyone is buckled in. If you don't want to wear it, walk. If you take it off, I stop, and you put it back on or you get out.
-
now i wear my seatbelt every time i am in a vehicle however i was very strongly opposed to them until a few years ago.
-
All the time and yes.
-
You bet I do and my kids all have to be in their car and booster seat or we're not going anywhere. The only time I realxe this is if we're just moving the car to a new parking spot no more then ten feet away or down the drive way.
-
I wear it every single time I go anywhere. I don't have to make my kids... they have did it for years. Just like I don't have to tell then to put on their underwear on anymore. I knew a guy who also wore his everytime. For some reason, he didn't one time and now he is gone.
-
All the time. I even have a harness and seat belt on my little dog. I didnt want her to be hurt either. And this past week it happened. A deer ran in front of my truck, I hit the brakes, hit the deer, hood plastered my windshield and blinded me and when we came to a screeching halt I was 45 degrees across both lanes of traffic. But my little dog was still on the seat and not one bump. Just wondering what the hell happened. I was in worse shape than the dog. Shaking all over. A blind skid is a terrifying thing.
-
Everytime. Now-a-days, with airbags, it would be extremely dangerous not to!
-
I just got used to wear them all the time
-
its good to wear it that way, when you crash you burn too. thats the law
-
Never because it's my choice to endanger myself or not. I would make my kids wear theirs however so they wouldn't be crawling all over the place.
-
Everytime.... the kids and I call it our "Meatbelt"... cuz you'll be meat if you don't wear it! lol
-
Every time I get in the car...even if its to ride the short distance to the store. I enforce this to everyone I ride with since my December car accident. When I do have kids, they're going to buckle up or walk to their destination.
-
Of course.. I don't see why I shouldn't (and I don't have kids, but I will definately make sure this becomes a habit for them when I do)
-
I wear it every time I get in the car, even if it's just to relax in a parking lot while eating a cheeseburger. I don't have kids but I make sure anyone with me in the car has it on! (I got my mom to make a habit of buckling up)
-
Every time I drive. Back when I was young and foolish I didn't like wearing them. Then my wife and I had kids. She pointed out that we lock them in... What would happen if we were in an accident, and they were in the back... They would have a much better chance of making it because they were locked in, but I might not because I wasn't. Now, I click in even to cross a parking lot... and EVERYONE locks up... Even my father, if I can get him to, when they ride with me. ;-)
