I hear ya! My wife keeps making me put one on the kid.
why?
Exactly, Brett. That's what I keep asking. I say let the kid roam around the backseat, jump up and down.....maybe come up front and jump on me (or take the wheel for a couple of seconds). Wives are no fun.
When I was a kid, we didn't even have no stinkin' seat belts. Get off my lawn!
really?!?! I am always SHOCKED when it's not automatic to anyone to just wear it. It doesn't even look dorky like a helmet, it's just there. I feel really weird about life when I see people with kids who aren't telling them to buckle the fuck up. My parents would always threaten to reach back there and smack us if we didn't buckle up. My grandma is nicer about it, she always says "buckle up if you love me!" so now I've taken to saying that to anyone who rides in my car. My insurance is not going to cover someone being stupid enough not to wear a seatbelt, so I don't think it's an unreasonable request/precaution.
ps- sorry for being a buzzkill on this one.
That's because you are young. I am against forced safety laws. I wear one when I drive. But I only started because I have kids. So how could I tell them to do it if I didn't. But I don't make Elias wear a helmet when he skates or bikes. I lived. So will he.
Yeah, that and the whole recently breaking my skull thing. Oh, and I think I can chalk it up to being from California too. My mom said she started wearing a seat belt when she and my older sister Caryn got into an accident and both their heads made spiderwebs on the windshield. I guess never knowing a time where there weren't seat belt laws is pretty much the reason though.
I am not arguing that they can make you safer. But safety laws are silly. Since I can ride a scooter or motorcycle and it's perfectly legal, yet a million times more dangerous than driving a car without a seat-belt.
