I've always worn mine out of habit, but I recently found out that there's a VERY good reason to do so -
If you don't wear one and you're in an accident, your body is thrown up against the front of the car and then whiplashes into the back of your seat. The problem is, as you're moving backward, your internal organs are still moving forward - again causing whiplash that breaks a lot of spines and causes internal organ damage that KILLS you.
Gross, huh?
Was I just living under a rock by not knowing this?
And does knowing this information make a difference in your decision to wear a seat belt or not?
