"I'll just hold it round me"

[Kerry]

Why do people, especially the elderly (and moreso a few years ago) just hold seatbelts around them? They literally hold the thing an inch from the plug-inny bit but prefer to "Just hold it round me"

Yes, this is Peter Kay stand up inspired but so true.

It's an inch from the socket - PLUG IT IN!!!!! :joker:

[Niamh.]

I can't say I've ever seen anyone doing that!

Oh my Nan was terrible! But then she was never the best traveller. Definately a Nan thing I think :D

[Vicky.]

My grandma used to do that :bored:

As if holding it would make a difference if there was a crash

[Smithy]

I bet niamh does that

[Ramsay]

[Boothy]

Is it illegal to not wear one in a black cab? I rarely do

[Ramsay]

just thought why is it that people very rarely wear seatbelts on buses?

[Shaun]

probably because of scare-stories about people trapped in burning cars by their bent seatbelts.

Dunno, we don't get black cabs here :joker: Just white ones

[Kerry]

No seatbelts on our trams....


Then again, stuff bounces off them

[Jords]

:shocked:

That would be horrific.

[Kerry]

We get multiculoured and red ones (I kid not). The big Hackney cabs. I thought everywhere had Hackney cabs :shocked:

[Kerry]

We get normal cars too btw as cabs :joker:

I don't think I've ever wore a seat belt in a taxi D:

We don't even have seatbelts on our buses.

[Vicky.]

We have no seatbelts on buses :/

[Smithy]

Unless they're one of those smaller buses, they have them sometimes

[Kerry]

Not been on a bus in years but they didn't and I'm pretty sure still don't have seatbelts. Coaches do though

[Niamh.]

anyone who doesn't wear a seat belt in a car is an idiot tbh

:joker: My Grandmother always did that, would never fasten it completely, when told she had to have the seat belt on in a car in case the police were about, she said ''well, I've got it held around me, they cannot see its not fastened''. No way would she ever fasten it.:joker:

[joeysteele]

I don't get why you don't have to have seat belts on buses,you are still travelling and if that bus overturned or was in a pile up, you would have no chance,you would be thrown all over the bus left,right and centre,you are sometimes anyway depending on the driver.

It's probably down to the cost of fitting seatbelts for all on the buses though.

[Benjamin]

I bet niamh does that

:laugh3:

:laugh:

I can't say I've known anyone do this.

[CharlieO]

This is ridiculous, there is no point in doing that :bored:

[Kerry]

I actualy like wearing a seatbelt. Even as a kid I did. Makes me feel more secure
