LOL, it pays to wear a seat belt, is illegal here not to.
In fact because my Mustang is modified I have to replace the lap belts with lap-sash belts.

Not every country, lol. Lots of countries don't give a fuck, but in Norway you're looking at a 300 usd fine every time you get caught not wearing one. Half that for passengers, iirc.
That's clever because you're fucked without a seatbelt when it comes to crashes
And crapstick:

In the uk its law,but the worst you will usually get is some fat copper gesticulating wildly and screaming "SEATBELT" at you as they drive past whilst in hot pursuit of a granny on a mobility scooter,its rare anyone over here gets convicted for not wearing one.

Its wierd,having been made to use them for so long now,you dont feel safe
if you dont"buckle up".
if you dont"buckle up".
It's just muscle memory to me. Each time i get into a car, i put on the seat belt without thinking about it, which is kinda gaytarded if I'm just moving the car a couple of meters and realize I'm wearing the seat belt when I'm done. Look like some kind of fucking PSA shit. "Wear yo seat belts at all time kids!"
I believe it wasn't law in many US states until recently. When we exported our cars there I recall they didn't need belts because they had airbags. I've been hearing things have changed since.
With my car, it was made in 1965, they didn't come out with belts in the rear that year and an unmodified one can get away with lap belts only in the front.
The black one next to mine is unmodified and he got his blue slip that day.
I have to have lap-sash belts in the front, I currently have US lap belts in the rear and I can register it with no rear belts but if I choose to have belts in the rear they must be ADR (Australian Design Rule) compliant.
So what the law in my state is saying - no belts in the rear is safer than US belts in the rear? Stupid law loophole methinks.

If you have to ask, you'll never understand.
? But that's a V10
^ thinks US cars can't turn corners, well not as good as Aus. cars, we built them for Bathurst, not a drag strip.
At first I thought you were talking about the motor but then realised that's what you guys call cars,

in your case, the aspect of "others dying while I'm driving" seems a bit more appropriate
Red light cameras or speed cameras? We have them both here and the newest edition is 'safety' camera, they're a red light and speed camera combined into one. It makes for especially happy times for those who floor the pedal to make it through the orange light.
I'd rather die in my sleep like my grandfather, not yelling and screaming in horror like the passengers in his car.
You poor Europeans, having to put up with 4 cylinder cars due to the exorbitant price of petrol. Do you get people there running their cars on heating oil because it's cheaper than diesel? I saw some of that going on in Europe and wondered what all the black smoke was coming out of some cars.

Ah, ok. I didn't know. I just assumed that it was a law and a must everywhere.
Stoopid law is stoopid.I believe it wasn't law in many US states until recently. When we exported our cars there I recall they didn't need belts because they had airbags. I've been hearing things have changed since.

And oh my gosh dude, you have a bloody Mustang?!
I like!If I'm not going for a teeny tiny supercute Mini Cooper, I would probably go for an Impala
Not sure tho, how easy it is for me to get my hands on one of those here in Norway..

Controlled aggression and a capable car,dont get me wrong,i dont fly around all the time,like everybody has mentioned with speed cameras and speed bumps,driving these days is a nightmare,half the time you cant go fast enough to get out of 3rd gear,and so when the increasingly rare situation presents itself,i have a little play.in your case, the aspect of "others dying while I'm driving" seems a bit more appropriate
