I got a mildly hostile reaction from a coworker when I replied with the first answer. WTF. It takes 5 seconds and can save your life, as well as my windshield.

I don't tolerate any lip either. First time, I ask nicely. Second time, get out. You can die for all I care, but in someone else's car.
Um, duh? For future reference, threatening people to get them to do things generally won't make them like you. Next time, you might try: "Would you mind putting your seatbelt on? Thanks."Originally posted by: MercenaryForHire

While I agree with you on the law (and how stupid adults should be allowed to kill themselves, just not in my car), I think you should know that those crappy motorized "molester" belts are extremely unafe. There is a reason that cars don't have them anymore (not since '93 IIRC). The tensioners are always loose. My sister just bought the steering wheel with her face last Friday while wearing one of those belts. The paramedics and police were so convinced that she wasn't wearing her belt that we had to snap pics of the monster "belt burn" it gave her on her neck and shoulder (and you only get those from a loose belt).Originally posted by: KarenMarie
My car has automatic seatbelts, so I never have to think about it.
I Think the law sucks though. I am 100% for anyone who is under the age of 16yrs must use a seatbelt, car seat, etc. But if a grown adult makes a decision that they choose not to wear a seatbelt, I dont think the city/state should fine them for it.

For some reason I always buckle up when I sit in the front seat, I actually feel uncomfortable if I'm not buckled up like something is missing. When I sit in the back though, I rarely buckle up. Usually everyone who rides with me in the front seat has the courtesy to buckle up if for no other reason than I will not risk being pulled over. I wouldn't make anyone buckle up though, because a.) it's their life and b.) should we get pulled over an issued a ticket, they are paying not me.

Same here. I rarely buckle up in the back seat, but always in the front.
Oh, well then that's an adequate level of politeness. I hereby grant you my blessing regarding that man's upcoming asskicking.Originally posted by: MercenaryForHire
That was after I said "Seatbelts" to everyone then "Can you put your seatbelt on?" to the passenger beside me. He had his chance to put it on.Originally posted by: hjo3
