It blows my fucking mind that when I was born “it’s safer to be thrown clear of the accident” was a thing that people commonly, unironically believed. It seems to be less prevalent today, but after witnessing the collective pushback to covid measures… yeah, common sense isn’t as a common as the name implies.
Doesn’t even surprise me. Lot of people that just don’t realise how dangerous that is until it’s too late.
I wish cars weren’t as required so these rule breaks would be taken more seriously
Yeah. I also wish people would realise that seatbelts are there for a reason. It’s all fun and games until someone flies through a windshield.
A seatbelt saved my life twice in the span of a year and a half. Luckily haven’t needed it since… still use it though.
I had a coworker that refused to use them. Believed they killed more people than they saved. He went flying out of his work vehicle and died.
I’ve always been someone that uses seatbelts, but after that I was even more adamant about it.

Yeah, he said the seatbelt would cut an artery in your neck and kill you or something. So, at least that didn’t happen I guess.
