Yes I do wear seatbelt at least 90% of the time. In most cases seatbelts do save lives, but there are situations when you get better of, if you aren't wearing one.
My friend never wears one because of accident he had 9 years ago. We went for a little drive on sunday. Because he was driving too fast we slided off the road and went into the river. Two friends were sitting in the back and weren't wearing seatbelts, they jumped out just before the car began sinking. Me and my friend who was driving were wearing seatbelts and we had to unbuckle ourselves first. I came out no problem (the side window was luckily opened), but he had some problems and had to dive out of the sinking car and ... he couldn't swim, so I had to pull him to the river bank. We were lucky to survive but since then he hates the seatbelt and never wears one.
