I always wear a seatbelt and actually refuse to drive anywhere if the girl friend doesn`t belt up. However saying that, 2 lads crashed a fortnight ago behind my house at 113 MPH. Driver who was wearing a belt died at the scene but the passenger who wasn`t wearing one survived with only a broken arm and a sore head.
That doesn't automatically mean that he'd have died if he'd worn one, it was just the way the crash panned out... One inch to the left and there could have been a completely different conclusion.
Seatbelts have saved waaaaaaaaaaaay more lives than they've lost!
Geek seatbelt fact: Volvo invented the 3-point seatbelt, but deliberately didn't patent it so that other manufacturers could benefit from it.
