if it's a girl, be smooth about asking her to use her seat belt.

"Buckle up, Buttercup" always worked for me. Probably because they didn't want to hear anymore lame rhymes.

But, showing you care helps get you laid...

Worse the CLS does 0-100 MPH in less than 16 sec (some less than 15s)!!! and it has shitty stock tires and average breaks...

So, it would be suicidal to drive hard and no seat belt...

All passengers have to buckle up or I refuse to drive!

Seatbelt usage

I went to an DMVR (Des Moines Valley Regional) SCCA event this weekend. At the driver's meeting a guy asked for a minute of silence for a gentleman who was killed recently. He was a Nationally ranked SCCA driver which prolly indicates he had driving expertise at a fairly high level. Apparently he and his wife were driving on a local Interstate, he lost control (no known reason as of yet), and rolled the car. He was thrown out and killed, his wife walked away with minor injuries. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt, she was. The trooper at the scene said the driver side of the car survived better than the passenger side which would indicate he probably had a better chance than did his wife who received minor injuries had he been wearing his seat belt. :'(

Just another real life example of what can happen.

Take a walk around a junkyard sometime and look at all the indentations in the windshields from people who don’t.
Some of those people are DEAD now too.

I also refuse to drive with a passenger who doesn’t belt up.
I don’t want MY insurance paying for some DUMBASS’s injuries.

It's all fun and games till you fly out the winshield and get turned into road kill.

I feel like I'm gonna fall out of the car if I don't have my seatbelt on.

I don't think it should be a law though. (See: Darwin)
