Do you always wear a seat belt?

I regularly drive up and down the M4 going to meetings as well as driving through London and it never fails to amaze me just how many people don't wear a seat belt. What really worries me is when I see people driving without a seatbelt on & children in the back not wearing seat belts. Why would...

I regularly drive up and down the M4 going to meetings as well as driving through London and it never fails to amaze me just how many people don't wear a seat belt.

What really worries me is when I see people driving without a seatbelt on & children in the back not wearing seat belts.

Why would anyone do this?

    I always wear mine apart from sometimes when reversing but I think that's ok?

    Also I don't think taxi drivers don't have to either (private ones when carrying fare-payers) but I'm not sure why.

    I can't stand it either when I see children bobbing about all over the place in cars [V] and why do "celebrities" never seem to wear them in documantaries when they are in the car?

    I always wear mine, it's a natural thing to do now.

    My mum on the otherhand, doesn't really like having her seatbelt on and "holds it round her" sometimes (only in the back of the car) so that if a policeman saw her, she wouldn't be prosecuted...

    My dad had my mum in the back of the car with me a few of years ago, when Holly was small (about 4 months old or so?) and she didn't put her seatbelt on, I asked her to, she refused. My dad got really angry and said "I don't really care if you go through the windscreen or not, but I would never forgive you if you killed your grandaughter, so put your bloody seatbelt on"

    I'll always remember him saying that (she always puts it on properly now regardless)

    I've always worn them in the front, but it took a head on accident while in the back seat of a taxi to make me always wear one in the back.
