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!!!!!

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

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

[Smithy]

Sometimes it's easier if you stumble into a taxi

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 Just white ones

[Kerry]

No seatbelts on our trams....


Then again, stuff bounces off them

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

[Kerry]

We get normal cars too btw as cabs

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
