Sorry to the people who don't wear one, but was CorsaSport14 said, it has more chance of saving you than you having some crazy accident where not wearing one will save you.
If you have a head-on crash then you'll be glad you're not through the windscreen.

Some dense comments in here I swear.
You could've quite easily have been "ejected" onto a wooden fence post.
Seat belts save more lives than they take, and when lives are taken, 9 times out of 10 it's because of dickhead driving.

but if he got impaled while inside the car they would have had to cut the car where as hed probably had bled to death if he was still alive. while they where cutting the car and then the post.
if he was thrown and impaled they could just cut the fence post and be off to hospital.
and id rather be thrown from a car than crushed inside

If seatbelts where everything why dont public buses have them?
Why dont criminals in the back of police vans have them?

Do I really have to give reasons to those? Seriously 
Buses for one tend to stay at the speed limit. For two, if they crash into a car, which one do you think is gonna feel the impact, the bus or the car? The people on the bus will be like "what was that?" and be looking round, where as the beltless people in the car will have been "ejected" through the windscreen.
Who's gonna crash into a police van? Not to mention they're not going to get "ejected" anywhere inside a steel cage lined with perspex (or whatever it is).
Again, you raise daft things to prove points.
You carry on seatbeltless, mate, you don't need to prove your silly point.

public buses use dual carriageways and motorways,i doubt 70mph into a car they would just be like "oh we felt a bump" 
and youve never seen people thrown from a bus window,i have in swansea quite a few times.
People die on buses all the time,yet they have no belts?
And what about other lorries and buses that hit a bus it would be a lot more than just a bump
and yes because sitting in a piggy van surrounded by a steel cage wouldnt hurt/kill you in an accident.one fatal blow to the head would kill you e.g smacking head on metal cage
and i will carry on

Mate, you've seen it all. You've got criminal mate and copper mates. Who could ever prove a point to you? Like I said, carry on your way and stop trying to prove your silly facts with all these random freak occurances that you have all been a witness to. What an amazing life you lead.
Somebody summed you up well when they said "against the grain". You should get that tattoo'd on your forehead.

So people have never died on buses its in the news all the time, i see most things from watching the news like most people?
And i love having a diffrence of opinion it seems to rile people up,which i find sad tbh.
You might find seatbelts save lives but they also take lives,imo it should be down to the person if he or she want to wear one.

* 80% of all death to children in a motor vehicle accident could be prevented by properly securing the safety harnesses and seatbelts. (James Madison University)
* As many as 17,000 people could be saved every year by wearing a seatbelt. (James Madison University)
* For survivors, average medical costs are 50% higher for those not wearing a seatbelt. (Car-Accidents.com)
* Of the 32,598 passengers killed in 2002 as the result of an automobile crash, almost 60% were not wearing seatbelts. (Naval Safety Center)
* Only 1% of passengers who were restrained were ejected from car seats during a car crash. Of those ejected (restrained and unrestrained), 73% were killed. (Naval Safety Center)
*Unfortunately, we can’t be sure how many people have died or have been injured due to seatbelt failure. The statistics tracked only cover seatbelt failure and improper seatbelt usage as a combined statistic. In other words, we can’t know for sure how many deaths are due to human error versus how many deaths are due to manufacturer problems. What we do know is that stronger regulations regarding the manufacturing and testing of seatbelts can save lives. Talk to a lawyer today to learn more about your rights if you’ve been injured in car crash due to seatbelt problems.

I think I'll keep my belt on.
Then again, when robbing people, beating random blokes up and generally topping up my list of offences (which happens to be the length of my arm) whilst still delivering my parcels - it would probably be easier just to keep the damn thing unbuckled

seat belts are designed to save lives.......but on the other hand.....they CAN be dangerous....depending on the impact/colision.
IF there was a Seatbelt fitted in the car my brother was in when they had the accident it would have killed him.....according to the inspectors, (but he COULD be wrong....) it's all down to personal opinions.

You could get hit by a asteriod while watching TV, but you dont wear a crash helmet at home do you? Freak accidents that you cant do anything about, get over it.
