Anti-seat belt law advocate is killed in automobile accident

Personally, I insist to the point of obnoxious that every person* in any vehicle I travel in wear a seatbelt. Don't like it? Tough luck - put the thing on.

* Heart surgery patients not included.

Stupid man. Serves him right...

[Taristin]

It;s a force of habit for me to automatically put on my seatbelt. And I generally nag what few passengers I have to put them on, too, or I don't start off... Sealtbelts are good. Wether you think them dorky or not...

Natural selection in action?

Talk about irony.

Well to be fair Sandwich, you do drive a tank, so your standards might not be univerally applicable.

[karajorma]

This is just too funny

Although what's the betting that there is some conspiracy nut out there who blames the goverment for this. After all the fact that the two people wearing seatbelts survived while the guy who didn't was not only killed but ejected from the car too might sound suspicious to someone who has a lack of understanding of basic physics.

[Unknown Target]

That is rather pathetic. Unfortunately, I always forget to put on my seatbelt, so I'm in trouble there

[Jetmech Jr.]

I don't put on my seatbelt most of the time. Dunno why. It's not uncomfortable, and I'm not worried bout my health. I just dont. Probably need to work out that habit.

[Gank]

driver gets fined as well as the passenger if they're caught without one on over here so you'd be well entitled to insist on them wearing it.

[an0n]

Yup.

No-one I know will set off until at least the passenger-side person has their belt on.

People in the back........Meh.

[diamondgeezer]

The department of transport would have us believe the un-seatbelted guy in the back is what kills the guy in the front...

I always wear it (force of habit) but if educated people don't want to I don't think they should have to. Children is a different matter ofcourse.

[Bobboau]

I don't like the government comeing in to tell you what to do, if you don't want to wear a seatbelt fine, darwin will take care of you soon enough.

that said I am obsesive about wearing a seat belt. I won't even turn the key untill I've herd as many clicks as I have people in the car, and if someone takes there belt off they had better have a damned good reason, like a protal to hell has opened up in there abdomen and somehow takeing the belt off will help, or I'll go fock'n balistic, you'll have about four seconds to but it back on before I pull over and slam on the brakes.

When i drive, I wear it... When i drive others, I wear it, and insist they wear it... When I'm being driven though, and not asked to wear it (and if i am, i will), i usually won't, unless its a driver i don't exactly trust, but if its someone like, my parents, i won't...

[Corsair]

Kinda reminds me of that Family Guy episode when Y2K strikes, Stewie mutates, and all his spawn attack the townsmen who just threw all the guns onto the bonfire.

[aldo_14]

I think if you're not wearing a seatbelt and go flying through your window, then you're quite dangerous to other people.  So the government has a case in stopping that happening.

And, of course, if a rear-passenger smacks straight into the back of your skull.

No I don't. I don't have a lisence to.

[Flipside]

Well, I can't sit in a car without wearing a seatbelt to be honest.

I've lost 3 schoolfriends who thought they were too 'cool' for seatbelts, and never realised that it doesn't matter how good a driver you are, because you have to cope with several thousand other drivers who may well be crap.
