Rollover

Not wearing a seatbelt if you are the driver or even the passenger is just like riding a bike without a helmet. It is senseless.

Good to hear you didnt get hurt man

We're all glad you came out of the accident safe and sound, Reise!

Seatbelts are a lifesaver, regardless of what speed you're driving.

This includes the passengers in the back - even if the driver wears one, a passenger could end up killing the driver by not wearing one. The impact could propel the passenger forward, hitting the driver from behind and slamming him into the wheel.

And to those of us who have babies and children, please be sure to strap them in safely!

PS. On another note, and this is for Reise, hehe. Sorry I couldn't help but share a little wordplay on drinking and driving. It's from a Japanese "Don't Drink and Drive" campaign some years ago.

"Nondara, noru na,
Noru nara, nomu na!"

"When (you) drink, don't drive,
When (you) drive, don't drink!"

* From the Japanese words "yomu" - to drink and "yoru" - to drive.

Thank god you survived, hope people read this and it doesn't get deleted.

Hey man, glad you survived - sounds like you used up some luck there, be careful for a while!

[Husar]

be careful for a while!

Or for a while longer.

I've gotten so used to wearing a seatbelt I feel uncomfortable when I can't wear one - usually the back seat of older cars where the belts have long disappeared under/behind the seats.

good to see you made it out ok out of your accident.

totally agree about the seatbelt.....

when I get into a car the first thing I do is to fasten the seatbelt...it´s just an automatic thing now.

Yeah, it does feel really unusual. I just can't understand why people wouldn't wear one.

Now a question - can a Policeman pull you over and fine you for not having a seatbelt on in America?

Almsot forgot to say: Glad to hear you made it out okay.
