how many of you who wear a full face helmet use a seat belt when driving your car ?

I don't wear any helmet, but I feel extremely uncomfortable in a car without a seatbelt on. Go figure.

(this is not ANOTHER ATGATT thread, plenty of those already, stay on topic people )

I'll put my Arai on before I suggest that it's OK to start a new oil thread! Only joking.

I put the seat belt on before I ever move off in the car. Always. BTW I make sure all passengers do too.

I don't see the need for a seatbelt; I wear my helmet in the car too.

But seriously; helmet all the time, and seatbelt all the time. I've put on a seatbelt for a 5 - house drive.

I always wear a seat belt and always a full face. i can't be in a car without a seat belt on, it just feels weird. Back in the day my dad used to do "seat belt checks" by stepping pretty hard on the brakes when we were in parking lots or places like that. I'm sure that's probably why I still wear it.

Seatbelt always. Full face 95% of the time. I wore a 1/2 helmet on a couple of really hot days going to work.

This got me thinking about making choices and going to school in Kansas City in the 70's and how choices were simpler, I wore an open face helmet, jean jacket(sweater underneath if it was cold), jeans or cords and Converse's. I didn't own a car but always used the seatbelt when in others.

Belts and Lid all the time though one day leaving work I was preoccupied and forgot the belt, sure enough 1 miles down the road was a click it or ticket road block.

I got a $40 #@%&ing ticket

Pulled out of my driveway the other day my 2 year old started yelling "On, on, on." I hadn't put my seatbelt on yet. I put it on and he stopped.
He sees me putting it on all the time and figured something was wrong this time. Clever little bu99er.

Belts and Full Face all the time.

If I don't were the belt the kids will be reminding me and one in one of the cars a reminder beep will sound until I buckle up and the passenger if I have one.

I'm also amazed at how many rocks and bugs I've been hit with on the helmet, the noise they make and the marks that are left.

In 1999 I was hit by a drunk driver while I was not wearing a seat belt. I broke my jaw and 8 teeth when my chin hit the steering wheel. Anyone who has had a broken jaw knows that the 6-9 week healing period and the following dental work are no fun at all. Since that date, I put my belt on before I start the car. A full face helmet is a given for me also.
