>>508772294 (OP)Nah man, shit saves lives. Two quick stories. I flipped my civic a few years ago. I'm a great driver from years of fighting the 401; you sink or swim real fast. I was driving, the wind moved my car a bit, my front tires touched the snow that sits between the tire marks on the road, I lost traction, and immediately started fishtailing before I even touched the wheel. I've driven rally, I've driven in the boonies, I've driven in snow; I know when you're fucked. So, I accepted my fate, and prepared for death. The car drifted sideways, regained traction at 80kms and I rode that shit like a bronco. Thank fucking god I didnt go into oncoming traffic but i flipped three times and came out unscathed. No seatbelt? I'd be dead.
Now we had a family friend named Bernie. Same sort of deal, the weather fucked him, and instead of dusting himself off, they found him alive, pulverized legs wrapped around the steering wheel, all his ribs shattered. He died on the way to the hospital.
I dont wear my seatbelt when driving in town, but I always do on the highway or anywhere you're going above 60.
