I wear mine always. Front and back. To those who don’t wear it in the back because you say all you will hit is the seat in front of you, When your body hits that seat, that seat will then move foward and compound the injuries to the person in the front seat. So you should be wearing your seatbelt in the back not only to protect yourself, but also to protect the person sitting in front of you. ---

> [@MXS](#): > > always, and I use the regular seatbelt (not 4pt harness) on the street Good idea, since a 4pt without a cage pretty much = broken neck in a rollover. ---

so if you (minglor and jaysgreenlx) went to a happy hour after work, and had 2 beers, you would take a cab home? or call a friend for a ride? im not condoning drinking and driving, but if it has no effect on you, its about as dangerous as driving normally. ---

It’s just interesting that you say it has no effect on you, but you say you rarely buckle up unless you have been drinking. So you either buckle up to avoid being pulled over and blowing over the limit (if you are not over the limit why would it even matter?) or you feel your abilities are impaired and need the security of a seatbelt should you ram into a school yard full of first graders. > [@Minglor](#): > > If I drank 2 beers I would be a fucking mess.

Then if it is the same as driving normally then why do you bother to buckle up? By saying you buckle up then you are say the conditions are not like normal, because normally you are bad ass and don’t buckle up. ---

i understand what you’re saying. it’s probably more that people mainly drink at night, that’s when cops look for drunk drivers, and i don’t want to be pulled over for suspicion, be OK for the d-w, but then get a stupid seat belt ticket. and, yes i’ve been pulled over about 5-6 times for what i thought was absolutely nothing, and always ended up with a “stupid” ticket. eg: no front plate, window tint, loud exhaust, etc. you know, the kinda reasons that you don’t get pulled over for, but that you get a ticket for when nothing else is found to be wrong. if you have better things to spend money on than a couple drinks, then IMO u need to make a little bit more! just my opinion. have some fun and relax. > [@JaysGreenLX](#): > > It’s just interesting that you say it has no effect on you, but you say you rarely buckle up unless you have been drinking. > > So you either buckle up to avoid being pulled over and blowing over the limit (if you are not over the limit why would it even matter?) or you feel your abilities are impaired and need the security of a seatbelt should you ram into a school yard full of first graders. > > Likewise…call me a pansy if you will, but I have better things to spend money on than alcohol. ---

I always wear it, even in the rear seat. I’m sure the responsible seatbelt wearers up front would not appreciate 150lbs flying at them in a front end collision. ---
