Seat belts not compulsory in the US?

sadly as I can tell from my voluntary fireman experience on road accidents, when the crash is too hard the seat belt is always ripped off. Another problem is that people put it too high and it disconnects their shoulder as they slip through.
I don't say they are useless, that'd be a lie, they save many lives and you should use them and as driver ensure that everyone as it lock tight before starting your engine. But sometimes the shock is so hard they can't handle it.
Drive safe and respect the other and yourself on the road

Yes, wearing seat belts is the law in the US, (and also common sense)...but there are always a few that don't.

i am very fortunate to be here with you as i had more then 20 accidents, 2 times on the roof, 8 totally wrecked cars and 3/24 it was me driving and two accidents were my fault.. i am afraid to sit with anyone in the car.. and if i do i am co-driver from hell..

back to the point, seat belt saved my life twice ..but also i'd be dead now if i wore a seat belt on two occasions
first time a car doing only maybe a 40kmh from back road hit me and i ended up on a fence avoiding metal spiers through my organs only by being thrown out of a car and the other time on a back seat
i purposely dont wear seatbelt in the city.. only on open road and freeway .. i cant do anything about it .. fear controls it

watching his rollover .. he was maybe saved by the seatbelt

P.s. yes i'm still home alone

#4 You might be home alone but I think you should tell us where your home is as I for one don't want to be anywhere near your neighbourhood when you are out.

dont worry mr JJ last accident happened 10 years ago when my boss was talking on his cell while changing lanes in front off a full lorrry that was braking.. he lost half of his car (the half where i was seating) .. after that .. nothing .. jinx is gone well at least i hope so

#6 I think the ComentAtor should tell us where his house is, as he soon won't be alone anymore, since all of us snotr friends will come over, bring more wine and have a little party...a Bura party...like we have hurricane parties here in the States

well boredom is over, i'm leaving . hear you in three weeks

Has anyone really paid attention to why good cars have a bit different suspension system than thousands upon thousands of older American automobiles? A good car hardly ever starts to spiral out of control like that. It's due to the fact a car with a too soft suspension and chassis heavy tends to be unstable. Anyone recall those waterbeds from the 80's? I give the driver 9 for beautifully executed somersaults. And only 9 since the landing is not visible due to all the debris and dust.

#8 You mean you're going to be on vaca for 3 weeks??? I'm jealous with my one meager week of vaca per year...and you have no internet where you are going, which means no way to check snotr?
Hope the Bura subsided and you have a safe trip and a fun vacation, keep us informed...after all we helped you make your boring days more exciting

People should love the police, you never know when you will need them

#8 as it looks like now i'm going on vacation for four weeks but with my laptop it's my own business so it has is advantages and disadvantages , and it's my wife's house so the cost is almost the same

#12...4 weeks vacation...I'm turning green with envy...so glad to hear though you brought your lap top with you, don't bother keeping up with work...but make sure you keep us here in Snotrland updated about your exciting vaca...
