I had someone once put their seatbelt on when I asked, and then took it off again once I was moving. So I pulled over and said to put it back on, and keep it on, or get ready for a lung walk.
The audacity of some people.
Wear your seatbelt

I have sat for nearly 10 minutes while the unbelted person fumed mostly silently
You get one chance to put it on before I pull the car over and put it in park. In this case I turned the car off, pulled out my headphones, and started watching Lord of the Rings on my phone.
The best driver in the world can still get T-boned at an intersection or rear ended at a stop sign. I’m the one driving, you will abide by my safety rules. Take your own vehicle or ride the bus if you don’t want a seat belt.

People really need to watch some crash videos with people without a seatbelt, you become a fucking projectile, I have seen one where two women are sitting in the back one without a belt and she slams really fucking hard into the other one that had a seatbelt, as in you can hear the head on head on contact.
For frontal crashes if someone is sitting behind you without a seat belt, they will literally crush you to death above a certain speed.

If you’re going on a drug run, why would you risk cops by not wearing a seat belt?

My car does not move until all passengers have their seatbelt securely fastened. Gotta problem? You can fuckin’ walk.

I’ll drive you with no seatbelt, hell I’ll skip it myself if I feel like it .
But I won’t do that while taking you to your dealer. Never commit a misdemeanor while you’re committing felonies.

In civilized countries, the driver is responsible for the safety of the passengers. If I get pulled over, and somebody doesn’t have a seatbelt (other than in some specific exceptions), I get ticketed. If I get in a collision and they get hurt, that’s on me too. A deterrent is necessary when personal responsibility fails.
Baleine@jlai.lu 7 hours ago
In civilized country (France), adults are responsible for their own security. You are only responsible for children to put their seatbelts on. Also what kind of condescending word is “civilized countries” just say the country you’re thinking about.

Same in Germany. I guess, we don’t live in civilised countries then 😢

I’m convinced there is no such thing as a civilized country at this point. The more “civilized” a country becomes, the more its people become smug arrogant assholes who are anything but civil.

My car will YELL at us for not having a seat belt on. The faster we go, the louder the chime
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 hours ago
They literally make and sell just, standalone seatbelt fasteners, with no attached seatbelt, to ‘solve’ this ‘problem’.
IMO, anyone who owns one of those should have their liscense revoked, forever, full stop.

some of them also have a bottle opener which is super convenient
BenVimes@lemmy.ca 7 hours ago
I have been the passenger in a vehicle where the driver didn’t wear their seatbelt, and they drove 30 minutes down the highway with the chime going. I think he may have been partway deaf due to using power tools without ear protection, but now we have two data points in a trend.
Considering he was a smoker too, I wonder what his life is like now 15 years later.

The same people buy fake seatbelt clips to stop the warnings.
At least they are mostly just endangering themselves, as long as they don’t turn into a projectile during a crash

I had tires on my seats without seat belts last time. Fifteen fucking minutes of ringing. At least I know to put them tyres their seat belts on for next time, I can promise you that.

This is especially important with people in the back seat. I don’t care if thaw allows people to sit in the back seat without a seat belt on, you’re still wearing one. I don’t need a human meat missile taking my head off if we suddenly stop.

I’ve trained all of my kids to wear seatbelts no matter what. I’ve shown them what happens to unsecured items, and videos of what happens in a wreck (not overly graphic, but enough to get it through their heads).

Agreed. This is like jamming something in someone’s eye because they refused to wear safety glasses. If you don’t want to drive someone who refuses to wear a seatbelt, then don’t drive them. It’s not a license to assault them. Guy who slammed on the breaks is the bigger asshole, even.

I guess I see your POV but what if the no seatbelt guy actually understood the lesson and will voluntarily buckle up from now on? It could save his life.

The same results can be achieved at 5 MPH. A car moving at that speed still carries a shitton of momentum.

Man, you can do that at 5 MPH and get a similar reaction. A few thousand pounds of car moving at 5MPH carries way more momentum than people realize.

They actually did something similar with a bus (the large long distance type) when I was in school. IIRC the lesson was to brace against the back of the seat in front of you when there’s an imminent impact/brake, though of course you usually don’t know beforehand.
Dasus@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
When I was doing my driving licence, here it’s mandatory to visit a a slick course before you get your licence. In summer it’s soap and oil or in the winter its ice and water.
Anyway, they had this tiny rig. A car seat, but it’s on a rail, but the rail is only some 1m-1.5m (3-5ft) long, and on like a 5-15° angle, but it simulates a dead stop at like 10-20km/h or smth kinda low. And even that was pretty brutal.
