Wear your seatbelt
If you're going on a drug run, why would you risk cops by not wearing a seat belt?
Only break one law at a time.
Yeah, he's planning on putting it on for the ride home
Some people are just not very smart
I imagine most people doing a drug run aren't very smart...
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.
Edit: 5 MPH is a brisk walk. If you've run into a lamppost or a tree during a brisk walk, then you should understand what I mean.
The weight of the car has no impact (excuse the pun) on the momentum of its passengers.
So I only took one physics class and never had to do it again, so I have no clue how to think of this. But doesnt a heavier car need more force to bring it + the passengers up to velocity than a lighter vehicle?
If that's the case and that car crashed, then I would figure the passengers would experience more force going the opposite direction than passengers in the lighter vehicle. That seems like it'd be more dangerous, even though both sets of passengers travelled at the same speed. Am I off base?
"Weight has nothing to do with it!"
unless you find yourself between the car and a stationary object, the few thousand pounds of car has no influence here.
I do agree though that a human body traveling at 5MPH do carry way more momentum than many realize.
They actually did something similar with a bus (the large long distance type) when I was in school. Hard brake at walking speed, pretty brutal. IIRC the lesson was to brace against the back of the seat in front of you when there's an imminent impact/brake event, though of course you usually don't know beforehand.
My car will YELL at us for not having a seat belt on. The faster we go, the louder the chime
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.

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.
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.
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.
Which planet is this on? I'm not familiar with any "civilized" countries on this one.
This is especially important with people in the back seat. I don't care if thaw the law 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.
After getting their way, I am not sure why would they turn around and go back home without accomplishing the errand...
Asks for favor, but then says fuck you... No, fuck you, sir. Get out of my car and walk.
I once did a hard break when a passenger decides to unbuckle (without need) before we arrived at the destination.
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).
Anon is definitely lawful neutral.

Sounds like an asshole with an asshole friend.
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.
Fake as fuck cuz noones mom is guna fight about putting on a seat belt.
Mine has three seatbelt tickets so...
You would be shocked.
I mean it literally says the driver put his belt on
So they're right, the green text isn't saying that the driver didn't.
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 long walk.
The audacity of some people.
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.
