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

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.

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

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

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.

This is ridiculous, there is no point in doing that

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