No, in fact I don't. I also never wore a helmet when motorcycling. I am an older guy who grew up when there was no such thing as seat belts and we somehow managed to survive. And while I certainly value and respect the safety and effectiveness of belts, I am just so used to not using them, that I just can't feel right with one on. I try, but most times I simply do not think to use it.
I have over 40 years of driving experience and an outstanding driving record.

I always wear my seat belt, I'm 16 year old guy, I'm learning to drive right now, and I can't see anything that I wouldn't be able to do in a car with a seat belt on. Seat belts save lives.

Always. I even pull over if passengers don't put their seat belt on (it is a law in Australia).
For $10 worth of material, is saves a lot of head injuries.
A smash repairs friend said how someone died in a car when the driver jumped on the breaks and someone flew over from the back seat. They are not just for accidents, but for emergencies too.

Yes always. I'm a 70 year old male and been driving since I was 18. The Military required seatbelts in cars registered on base in 1960. Since I had to install them I decided I'd use them and have ever since. I've seen them save a lot of lives and prevent a lot of injuries over the years.

NO, 60 Male 45, I drive a taxi and i get out 24 times each day, but the belt tightens like a ratchet and becomes very un-comfortable.

Yes, always, its just automatic to put it on as soon as I get in the car. I even put my seat belt on if I back out of the garage into the driveway for some reason - its just that automatic! 35/F/17 years driving/safety of course

Yes, all the time.

I grew up in an era when nobody used seatbelts. People would remove them or stuff them under the seat. I guess I changed when I became a parent and I couldn't make my kids buckle up if I wasn't willing to do it myself.

yes i do,16, male, 2 years of experience, my acura integra is equipped with automatic seat belts, so when i get in the car and turn the key it automatically belts me up top, then it reminds me to buckle my lap belt, and i believe it does help.

No. 30, female, not sure what you mean by years experience but I've been driving since I was 16. My mom was involved in a rollover crash, was wearing her seatbelt and still was thrown from the vehicle and broke every bone in her body. They don't impress me much. I wear it sometimes.
