>Not wearing your seatbelt

It's really safe to be honest. I never put on my seat belt on time, and it could cost me some day.

It won't do anything but be one more thing to break. People who wear them will continue to, and people who don't will get around it.

Literally not a single extra component. It's just extra software in a control module (that already existed) somewhere in the car that prevents your engine from cranking if the belt switch (that already existed) is open.

Are you that lazy that you have to make up reliability excuses so you don't have to wear your seatbelt?
Because if you want to have muh freedum to not wear belts, you can just leave it plugged behind your back without ever unplugging it and the car won't know better.

>>14330625
You American'ts and your aversion to seatbelts. It's all about the token personal freedom with you idiots.
I wear my seatbelt because its a fucking good idea, not because the law says I have to (although it does say I have to).

Having said that, a seatbelt interlock sounds really fucking annoying and I would not buy a car with one. I Cant take care of my own belt, thanks. Plus I can see numerous situations where it would be prohibitive to practical operation of the vehicle.

Yes good point. My thing is that I have a long driveway with a gate. So I start car, drive to street, stop, get out and lock gate, get back in, THEN seatbelt and drive off.

>Less common than gun crime in your apparently common sense country.

The UK has half the total incidents of violent crime that the US does while having a 1/6 the population. I'd say it's probably pretty fucking common. Even if you cut the number in half due to a different definition, that's still an incredibly larger amount of violent crime. And you completely glossed over the fact you have to just take your shanking like a man in almost every country outside the US or you go to jail.

This is just another thing to malfunction and leave you stranded.

I had a friend who's car seatbelt sensors were broken and so for the first 10 minutes of driving, the "Seatbelt not clipped in" alarm would blast at full volume. It was infuriating and probably more dangerous than not wearing a seatbelt.

It blows my mind that there are people who are in favor of this stupid bullshit. If I want to start my truck and head inside real quick, I shouldn't have to buckle the seatbelt to do so. I already have to press the button to bypass depressing the clutch (which I think is fantastic) and I don't need another step
Literally just a stupid fucking nanny feature that encourages people to lack awareness. Why bother to remember to buckle up when you can instead be forced to if you want to drive?

I can't help but imagine those who support this are the same people who feel that it should be a law to have your seatbelt on.

If anything should be forced (and the word 'forced' isn't a favorite of mine), it would be things that affect the safety of OTHER people, not the person driving. If I want to stupidly drive without a seatbelt, that should be my choice.

We have laws to say you HAVE to wear your seatbelt, and I see lighted road signs at least once a month saying CLICK IT OR TICKET but never do I ever see anything about tires and brakes. Those things affect the safety of not only the driver, but everyone else as well. We should stop focusing on trivialities and start focusing on the things that really matter. Other than me thinking they're an idiot, it doesn't ahve any effect on me if another driver is without seatbelt. But when I see bald ass tires, that shit it scary. And I have a baseless assumption that the people who are letting their tires get dangerously worn also let their brakes become insufficient.

>seat belts save lives

When will this meme end?

According to the UK geographer John Adams, widespread wearing of seatbelts hasn't saved nearly the number of lives anticipated. While highly effective in the event of a crash, they apparently increase the chance of a crash to begin with ('risk compensation'). Also, the general use of seatbelts has apparently caused the deaths of more pedestrians and cyclists.

Even mainstream authors (e.g. Allport et. al. in *Significance*, June 2008) put the annual number of car occupants' lives saved in the UK at 352, rather than the 2000 or so predicted. And this has come at the expense of about 190 additional deaths of people outside cars.

So it still saves lives.

Correlation vs causation. The issue is not with seatbelts but with irresponsible drivers. This is nothing new. The large majority of accidents are.

>has apparently caused the deaths of [190 non-drivers]

Correlation vs causation. Same reason as above. But this one, I doubt anyway. I'd love to see how seatbelts have had any effect on this. More than likely, it's due to the increased number of people, and thus drivers/cyclists/pedestrians, on the road.
>>14332168

This is true. But to that I say 2 things. One, learn responsibility. If you're driving, you need to understand the risks involved and prepare yourself for them. Two, it still affects people less than a poorly maintained vehicle. That will affect people both inside and outside your vehicle.

>>14332845

I can't really argue with you there. So I'd be in favor of a law that says if a crash gives you an injury that would otherwise have been avoided by wearing a seatbelt, you cannot get government funded assistance for said injuries. Of course, then you'd have people complaining about what is considered an injury that is vs is not avoidable with a seatbelt.

How are all of you this stupid? Go online and buy one of those seat belt extenders that Walmart-Americans need. Get the shortest one they have. Put it into the seat belt buckle, then epoxy it into place.

Congratufuckinglations, you now can still use your seatbelt like normal but the overprotective nannystate bullshit is permanently bypassed.

So how do I get the taxpayers to pay for my medical care? Because I can't afford insurance even through Obongocare, and when I go to the doctor's office the bills get sent to me. Not "The taxpayers of X state", me. And then I pay my bills.

Dude, if you can hook me up so I can get the taxpayers to pay my medical stuff for me, that'd be fuckin' awesome.

Sure, this would work. But that's not the point. I shouldn't need to come up with a way to bypass a bullshit feature that shouldn't be there to start.
