Do you wear your seat belt?

i used to never ever wear my seat belt. my feeling was if something happens and my face goes thru the windsheild.... well that was my mistake and mine only... i know the risks...

then i got old, and sick of the nanny dings in the truck cab and just started wearing it. now its habit.

20 years of wearing a gunbelt and not one single hassle wearing my seatbelt, even when making up to 40 traffic stops in a day.

You need to develop a technique something like; As you roll to a stop, unbuckle with your left hand, stop, throw it in park with your right hand - as you open the door with the left hand, swing the belt clear with your left arm as you step out. No hassle at all (until you try to write it out).

Supervisors tend to look down on not following things like department policies and state laws.

Plus you may look like a putz if you write somebody for it when you don't wear it yourself.

Rant 10-7

When I work highway I do wear my seat belt, but I find the majority of my day is working ranches and quickly exiting to catch groups of illegals. I do Border Patrol, not PD.

Just for the record, I put I wear my seat belt most of the time. I know I am not great at wearing it all the time, but I do wear it often, and am trying to wear it more than I do.

But... on the other side... There were several other people (9ish) that voted for not wearing to sometimes it that haven't spoke up...

Damnit NickPic83 posted his just seconds before I posted that...

Always, always. I got into the habit in the Air Force. If you got into an accident your fault or not you were responsible for medical bills. If it was on then the military covered it.
Besides I only have about 4 years until all my kids are grown up and on their own. Wouldn't do to die now. I want to be able to enjoy doing some travelling with my beautiful wife.
