Around 85 percent of people who drive or ride in vehicles wear their seat belts.

Most people only wear their seat belts if they are in an area where they may be police around that would be looking out for people wearing their seat belts.

That goes for me as well.

In my town there are no cops around unless someone calls them so mostly I ride around my town not wearing a seat belt as I hate the seat belts.

But my kids are always in their child car seats or in their seat belts regardless.

They know that by law they have to wear their seat belts or at least the 7 year old does.

So they wear their seat belts even when I don't wear my seat belt.

If I'm on the highway then I wear my seat belt or when I'm in a larger town where cops are.

Seat belts can save lives but they don't always do that and sometimes the seat belt can trap you in a vehicle such as during a fire etc.
