See a physician to disable your dong.

Hey since we are piling on here, I used to run crash tests when I was a safety engineer. If you saw the damage to the car and what happens to the dummy in a SLOW 30 mph crash without seat belts, well lets just say everyone would wear their seat belts................................oh wait, I forgot......There are still some folks that will never get in an accident and if they do, they will just brace themselves. LOL

Ohhhhhhh yeah and I forgot the other one. There is always the ubran legend of the cop that said to a friend of a friend, "it's a good thing you weren't wearing a seat belt, you would have been killed". Yet to see an example where being unbelted is better for you.

Sorry, OP. There are answers to your question, I just can't help you with it. I value your life too much.

I'm not condoning not wearing your seat belt and do at your on risk, but why don't you just go to your local junk yard and buy a dummy clip for $5 to fasten into the receiver making the computer think your belted?

On a serious note and a question:
Does anyone here remember the cars in the 70's that would not start unless the driver first buckled up ?

swagled · 04-10-2011, 09:00 AM

Yes, I owned two of those. Bought them used. The first one already had that "feature" disabled. It was simply a plug under the dash... one day I saw the loose plug, connected it, and the car would not start! So I too, continued to leave it unplugged.

The next one I accidentally messed up replacing the bench seat... the car would only start with the seat rolled back to it's maximum extension.

Mine was a 1974 Buick LeSabre Convertable. Great car, kept it for 15 years.
I brought it back to the Buick dealer and they pulled that same plug for me.
I don't know if this was GM's idea, but it sounds more like something our goverment would think up- lol.

Do you guys lecture people you see riding motorcycles without helmets too?

Nope, I simply consider them donor material.... Darwinism at it's finest. Seriously, does anyone ride without a helmet anymore on purpose?

I sure as hell DON'T!

no, because some states don't require a helmet...

all states require seat belts.

I flipped a 1991 escort gt in PA and wasnt wearing my belt and all that happened to me was the lever for the tilt wheel stabbed me in the knee. When the cops showed up they told me I would have been killed if I wasnt wearing my belt. lol

No, not really. What year are we living in?!? Are we not passed this?

Partick · 04-10-2011, 07:49 PM

Lost my best friend at age 20 when he was ejected not wearing his belt...he survived 2 weeks on life support and it was the one of the harderst things in my life to watch his parents decide to pull the plug, ironic thing is I was supposed to be in the car with him that day but stayed home bc my girlfriend was sick. Could have been me.....PLEASE WEAR THE
SEAT BELTS

25 years later I'm watching my daughters pull out of the driveway everyday and all I can think about is making sure they have their seatbelts on.
