I agree, it should be personal choice but we get penalty points for not wearing them so..

yeah and is it against the law because the goverment care about us so much? no its because they see it as another oppertunity to collect cash!:freddy:

personal prefrence really if u wanna take the risk so b it my mate crashed his crx the cops told him if he was wearing a belt he wud be dead. another friend had a similar accident also, another arguement another friend uses is rather b dead than a vegtable.

Personaly what ever i dont care personal prefrence its a risk they gotta decide they wanna take or not.

They are very low statistics compared to the lives belts have proven to haved saved. Also I dont think its very professional for a Policeman to have said that.

There are times when, by law, you dont have to wear a seatbelt, like when performing a reversing manoveur.

But personally I know of all the times I have crashed (4) I am glad I had it on.

I used to wear my Sabelt 4 point in the GT if I was going for a "drive" and wore the normal seat belt for normal driving. Sometimes wore both.

Always without fail. Lost a very close family friend back in december 2006, side impact shot her across the car which caused severe internal injuries that took her life at just 17.

It makes me angry seeing people not wearing them. If someone in my car refuses to put one on then I refuse to give them a lift simple as. Not a problem now that I've taken the rear seats out though lol!

Next time your in car and it's safe to do so, brake HARD at 30mph. Not fast at all and there's no impact (if there is, you've done something wrong lol :p), but you have vertually no control over the movement of your body.
