Question

Why do some people still choose not to wear seatbelts?

Answer 1

because the only thing you have to do is pay a fine. in ny no points are added to your driving record. i have that it is a pain to wear. plus with window tinting its hard for the cop to see if you wearing one or not.

Answer 2

personal choice

Answer 3

The real question should be why does the government pass a law that violates our constitutional rights?  After that, I wonder why you care what anyone else wears in their car as long as it doesn't affect you.  How about when there were no seatbelts and cars were made of steel and drivers were focused.

Answer 4

For me it's forgetfulness.  I simply forget to put it on because I never got in the habit of wearing one.  Had driven 30 years before it became a law.  I don't mind having it on.... just don't think of it until I meet a patrolman.

Answer 5

Stupidity, really, because all kinds of studies show that seat belts save lives in accidents. The problem with kids is that they think they are invincible and they could never die in an accident, seat belts or not.

Answer 6

because so many people in the world have the attitude that .........."it will never happen to me"

Answer 7

Because I am still able to make my own choices.

I choose not to.

Answer 8

For the same reason they smoke, sit for hours in the sun with no sunblock, eat to the point of obesity, have unprotected s*x with strangers, or any of hundreds of other dangerous behaviors. They always think nothing will happen to them, it will always happen to someone else.

Answer 9

Very simply..."Stupidity".

Answer 10

I think it's a personal choice, I've heard some people say it is uncomfortable. But I like to wear mine.
