One by a drunk driver and the othere by a stolen car that was being chased by police.
Both would be dead now if they had no seat belts on.
AND I ALWAYS MAKE MY KIDS WEAR THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

charanmafiriyals, Do you use seat belts? ...Hold on for a minute, besides that you are wearing your seat belt all the time, you forgot to buckle your mouth with a steel plated Muzzle!
Anyhow, I understand that you, did learn to drive in Qatar, since that poor Donkey was your only means of transportation in your homeland.

Of Course I wear seat belt. ...Of Course I wear seat belt. Everyone that have seen results after accidents where persons were not wearing seatbelts are wearing it-it's ugly. And using the fine as the reason to wear it is plain stupid. Wearing it should be for your own safety.

I always use the seatbelts ...I always use the seatbelts as do my kids,front or back passengers -they all use them.What never ceases to amaze me is the number of front seat passengers who don't use them-and they are usually Arab or Qatari women with babies on their laps-maybe they think the law only applies to the driver.
May your dreams take you travelling all through your life.

MagicDragon, I agree with you. ...A lot of people understand religion and believe in God right away, when their lives are in jeopardy. But to understand, the physics of momentum is another theological teaching they haven't master at all.

It's really an advantage if you study physics,... ...but I think the many commercials or advertisement regarding this issue is enough to educate people regarding seatbelt. I would presume that Physics is already part of all high school curricula so most of the generation now-a-days do understand basic impact momentum theories (even in a little way)
