Im curious, I usually dont wear Mine. Those Third gen Belts cut my neck. and I'm usually a Sunday driver. So I'm never in a hurry, If I'm gonna be late. By God I'll be late. I think the Seat Belt should be an option for those 20yrs+ old, I Put it like this. Seat Belts are for your Protection, and so are Condoms. Its your Choice to use it or not.

I allways do, seen to many crazy accidents and the aftermath. Its not worth it.

I dont know about everywhere else but kansas blues pull you over for not wearing your seatbelt without any other violations. Just for that reason.

Yeah its a law in MN and WI now...

I say yes.. If the only reason youre not wearing it is comfort, then I suggest buying some seat belt pads. Thats what I have and I have no complains. Its your life though, but keep in mind you go flying through your window then youre just going to be another statistic for the reason we have seatbelt laws.

I'll be completely honest, I dont always use it. Putting on a 5point harness every day is kinda annoying. But if im going anywhere of any real distance, I use it most definately.

I wear it always, plus in WA its the law, Click it or Ticket. Some people with a harness usually retain their stock seatbelt so they can still have a normal seat belt for Daily Driving.

I always wear it, it's not just your life, it's th guy who has to clean your brains off the pavement you think about, and if the 3rd gen belt cuts your neck your either 3 feet tall, or have the seat leaned back (my mom is 4'11" and had no issues in all of mine)

Im 6'2 and, those little Brackets for the Belt are missing. I dont know why, thats the only part thats missing on my car. I wear my belt if i'm going to be in a City or going over 50. I've lived in maine for 1/2 my life. I live way out in the "stix" Up near Richarson Lake, you can look it up on google. theres nothing around, speed limits are 10 to 40.. But its more of a habbit just jumping in and taking a ride. And If I did Think about it I'd put it on, but I'm not use to it.

those little brackets are always missing, speed has nothing to do with it (I had to work cleanup on a crash in Atlanta that was in a 25 MPH zone and the driver was under his car mostly, some parts were on the hood and under the other car too)
