Pretty sad. A big plus that no one else seemed to mention is that seatbelts keep you in your seat when driving so if you have to make any emergency manuevers you're not all over the place. You ever try driving while you are being thrown into the passenger seat? With seatbelts you remain relatively stable in the driver's seat. I personally wear seatbelts all the time and would be very upset is (that's if; sorry) I were forced into paying for airbags because the gov't feels it has to protect all those people who would rather go through the windshield than wear seatbelts. I'm darn sick of paying for other people's stupidity. Sharon Badian BTL-Piscataway
