Maghion Syaoran Light Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 More like the welfare line :>O (on snap!) n on topic: seat belts is another way for the city to make money off of you if you dont wear it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I don't think they should be mandatory. Darwinism at it's finest IMO. Though I suppose the city needs to make money ticketing SOMETHING. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Never said they didn't. Somebody is getting paranoid over their limitation device of death having some of its vital design flaws brought to public notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 All it takes is a short stretch and one click to save your life in a car crash. People who chose not to put it on really need more common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Should be mandatory in the front and passenger seats; should be mandatory for all children in car seats; should not be mandatrory for any "kid not in a car seat" sitting in the back seats. It should be [i]recommended[/i], but we all know that means it isn't mandatory and no one will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I feel any citizen should have the right to drive with or without a seatbelt for whatever reason they feel. Should their reason for not wearing a seatbelt lead to their death, that's on them. I don't feel the government needs to step in and issue citations for someone performing a reckless act.

Icy Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I put one on whenever I enter a car, even if it's down the block. Just feels weird not to, even if I know I'm going to be safe. Better to be safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well just in case: Seat belts are in cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I think there isn't much of a case against the use of seat belts. >_> ... Except if they get jammed when you're trying to escape your vehicle, and that's pretty rare. One should always wear a seat belt when driving with me, anyways. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been in a wreck before - and that seatbelt kept me from flying through the front windshield. Seriously, put the damn thing on. It's not hard. I don't care if it's uncomfortable. It's a lot more uncomfortable to be injured in a car crash by not taking a necessary precaution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Remember, even though they may be uncomfortable, having your face torn off by glass and cement is also uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It's just one of those laws where they genuinely are looking out for peoples' best interest. I agree that it shouldn't be regulated, but I can see their reasoning and don't exactly mind that they do. It's rarely enforced anyways, at least where I live.

DARKPLANT RISING Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 My house doesn't have a car, so I don't care. If my house did have one, I would put it on. Obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Would you rather hit your head on the wind screen or just suffer whiplash. I think I'd go for the seatbelt and just whiplash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovedrive Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Seat belts...they save lives...and they're uncomfortable and...they save lives. EDIT: But, of course, I would put them always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
