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.
