I've been "between jobs" for a little while now, so I've been out and about with my kids during the day more than usual. As I have been taking them around town in the wagon, I have been watching people. It seems like about 50% of the drivers I see are <b>NOT</B> wearing seatbelts. I might be over estimating it, it might be 35-40%, but still that seem crazy high to me, especially in Mass. that has a seatbelt law. Am I nuts, or is that normal. Do most of you always wear seatbelts, especially when driving? Or am I an old fuddy-duddy and no one wears them anymore. I'm just curious.

Always, and absolutely. I REFUSE to take the car out of Park if any one of my passengers hasn't put their seat belt on, which thankfully with my friends hasn't been a problem. (I'll admit to being a hyprocrite when I had the Probe and we regularly stuffed three adults in the two-seater rear, but that was out of necessity. With a sedan, there's no questions asked.)

Always. People will talk about accidents where the car gets pulverized and you've got nothing to lose by getting thrown from the vehicle (where your odds are slim, but still preferable to none), but these people are betting their lives on an inside straight draw. You're much more likely to have an accident where the car flips over several times than you are to have one where it fits in the trunk of a Miata afterward. You can only plan for one or the other, and I plan for the most likely accident by putting my damn seatbelt on. --T.J.

First thing I do as soon as I get in any car is put my seatbelt on. Also make sure my passengers have theirs on,because here,if you get pulled over and your passengers aren't wearing their seatbelts,YOU get the ticket.

If you're in my car, you have a seatbelt on. End-o-story. Even when I was nice and took people I knew from HS home I made them wear their seatbelts. Got some funny looks, at least until I started driving!  lol But yet general rule, always use the belt.
