I have done that except at like from <5km/h with a friend who didn’t feel like putting it on. Just enough so they are jolted a little forward. That got them to put it on really quickly.
Where I live, the driver gets the ticket if the passenger has no seatbelt. The car doesn’t move unless everyone is buckled in, because I’m not paying for someone else’s laziness.
And for good reason. A single unbelted person in the car is a serious threat to everyone else in an accident. You could end up paying for it with your life if you let it slide. I think the statistic is something like a 20% increased risk of death in an accident when a single passenger is unbuckled.
And I hate that “aren’t you a good driver” idiocy. Sure, but aren’t all those other drivers on the road the worst?
When I was a teen driver in the 90s, my rule was seatbelts or get the fuck out. If they fought me on it, I described to them in excruciating detail what my aunt looked like after a semi hit her car and she wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. She was unrecognizable as a human being… and she lived. Imagine looking like that while still alive. Put on your fucking seatbelt.
She single?
As in pieces?
that too
