Yes I do and I will tell you why you should too.
I just had an accident happen right next to me a few days ago. A girl driving a few cars behind me did not see everyone stopped, slammed on her brakes and in trying to miss the mini van in front of her went into oncoming traffic.
She hit the car in the oncoming lane head on.
When I got to the car she was in, the front door would not open and all you could see was her head through the window. She did not have her seatbelt on and her whole body was crammed under the dash board.
When the rescue squad came she was moving her legs. A girl who does chores a the barn where I board my horse at goes to school with this girl and gave us an update (the accident happened right in front of the barn).
She is only 17 and is now paralyzed. If she had her seatbelt on this probably would not have happened.
Always wear your seatbelt.
And yes this is true, it is not a scare tactic.

Yes. I always wear my seatbelt when I'm on the road; not just because it's the law, it's because I want to stay safe, just in case I get into an accident.

YUP it feels weird without it. my ex used to make fun of me cuz we'd drive around in his truck, park somewhere and just hang out and i'd have my seatbelt still on for like an hour LOL. He'd be like, "why the hell is your seatbelt not off yet. we havent moved in forever."

Yes, I even buckle up when I move one of the cars out of the garage into the driveway. Just a habit.

ALWAYS when riding with my husband. NEVER when I am driving. ALWAYS buckle the kids up in their car seats though.

Always, I'm a parent, I got more than me to think about, plus I 've got to set an example.

Yes, I want to make sure I'm safe and it's really a habit so if I didn't I guess I'd feel naked.

Yes, not because it is the law but it is the intelligent thing to do.
