"I'll just hold it round me"
 

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:

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

My grandma used to do that :bored:

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

I bet niamh does that

i always see little kiddies do it and im like woooot are yaaa doing??
but elderly people? jeez thats new..how silly..

I know. I laugh now as she was lucky but *sigh* :joker:

My nan did it all the time.

I do it, the damn thing's too fiddly :cloud:

Grans are such rebels these days :bored:

Sometimes it's easier if you stumble into a taxi

:joker:

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

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

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

No seatbelts on our trams....


Then again, stuff bounces off them

:shocked:

That would be horrific.

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

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.

We have no seatbelts on buses :/

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

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