? Makes no sense to me. Are you stupid? It's one of those things I do in my car, with no excuses whatsoever, without putting any thought into it. Just like I close the door before I drive, I put on my seatbelt. Should I feel bad for people who don't wear them?
I recall hearing this in my economics class: Imagine how careful people would drive if they had no seatbelts, but there was a knife situated in the steering wheeling, pointy end facing their chest....it would be a safer place, that's for sure. Apparently seatbelts increase the likelihood of there being an accident since people feel safer, and take more risks.
Now, there are no knives in reality....and, certainly people don't drive as though there was one, ....and people DON'T wear seatbelts?!
It's simple physics. Our bodies are no different than a dummy. Anyway...enough of that.
Bender.
