24. A seatbelt has saved my life 3 times. Enough said.
I used to be a fireman, believe me when I tell you that seat belts save lives and the one in the billion that survives without one is a nothing more than pure luck.

I have gathered up ejected bodies, pulled bodies, pieces of bodies, things that no longer look like pieces of bodies, from cars of people that didn't wear their seat belts.

On the other hand I have seen head on collisions, roll overs, crushed, split in half cars where the drivers wore their seat belts and survived, a bit banged up, but lived.

Wear them, cut the macho bullshit, the I don't have time, the they don't feel comfortable, they will ruin my dress, jacket, shirt, they cut into my shoulder bullshit. Properly adjusted you don't even notice them.

Wear them.
