Answer 1

Answer 2

Yes, you do.

Most people in GA, with trucks, just don't know any better.

I live there too, and have heard the same thing, but then they wonder why they're getting seatbelt tickets.......

Answer 3

Ga. L. 2000, pg. 763, Code 40-8-76.1, item B

  Each occupant of the front seat of a passenger vehicle shall, while such passenger vehicle is being operated on a public road, street or highway of this state, be restrained by a seat safety belt approved under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208.

Answer 4

Keep wearing it- When your doing 50 down the highway, and some 87 yr old dude pulls right in front of you- you could LIVE and then some lawyer guy will come along and give you more money than you ever saw in your life- seatbelts ROCK!!!!
