Do you bother to buckle up (in the Phils)?

[renzo_d10]

^ Same here. Kasi I usually go above 100kph.

Kung trip ko naman magcruise sa maluwag na daan sa NLEX at magtipid ng gas. Mga 90kph. Di pa din ako nagsseatbelt. :rofl:

[altec]

Same with sir renzo.. Dahil nakakairita yung seatbelt warning buzzer, I assume na palagi na merong ganun lahat ng kotse hehe .. Also psychological na siguro sakin, na parang I feel safe kapag may nakahawak na seatbelt sakin..

And ito, an amazing story from sir altec (2004 post in this thread)

daym, buhay pa pala ang thread na ito. Guys, that was february 12, 2000 when it happened. I went out of the hospital february 14, 2000. I still remember my 2nd daughter who was 6 years old at that time, umiiyak nung pumasok sa hospital room, kasi daw natakot kung ano na daw hitsura ko. I go to mass every february 12-14 to say thanks.

I got so used to wearing seatbelts that I feel really awkward if I don't.

[sgt_taga]

dati nung otj pa ni erpats yung nada-drive ko, hindi ako nagse-seatbelt kahit na meron. pero ngayon, di na ko komportableng magmaneho o sumakay sa mga sasakyan pag hindi naka-seatbelt. nasanay na rin. buti na lang kase i think good habit ito.

[Type 100]

Regardless of where I sit in a car I always look for a seatbelt to wear.

same here. hindi ako sanay na ng walang seat belt. parang may kulang pag hindi ako naka seat belt. tho hindi ako strict sa mga pasahero ko.

[Starex_Gold]

ako, always. pamula nung masubasob sa console box ng Hiace nung bata pa ako :hysterical:

sa mga may kotseng may Airbag, wag po tayo palaging aasa doon sa Airbag/s natin pag nabangga. minsan pag mahina ang impact hindi sila nag deploy.

renzo, mag seatbelt ka palagi maraming taran****ng mga Jeepney at Taxi at Bus drivers. in short lahat ng PUV

I feel "naked" somehow without a seat belt. Hehehe

I try to convince people who hitch a ride with me to put on their seat belts, especially at the back. Most Pinoys sadly are still pretty ignorant of the risks of not wearing their rear seat belts, believing the front seat cushions will save their butts in a crash. If it were anybody else, I would have left them on the road to hail a taxi, but if it's your girlfriend's parents and family you're trying to convince, it's a losing battle.

[renzo_d10]

Gusto ko nga magseatbelt palagi eh, kaya lang naiilang ako nang may nakahawak saakin. :gayfight: :rofl:

Subukan ko ulit masanay ng nakaseatbelt. Dati kasi, nagsseatbelt naman ako, pero nung tumagal tagal nawala na ito sa routine ko pagsakay sa kotse.

[ajOT]

within the village area (Pacita) nop I dont wear, but in highway and expressway of course YES....

[SIZE=4]Buckle up for Safety[/SIZE]

[beereo]

it's like brushing my teeth. kahit bibili lang ako ng load.

[frenchtower]

Seat belts are placed there for a purpose and not as decoration.

I learned my lesson the hard way when I ignored to use it one time, many years back. After that unfortunate incident, I never rode a moving vehicle without fastening up.

[Marky86]

yes. . malapit man or malayo byahe..

[roninblade]

di ko na iniisip, naging automatic na gawin - kahit lilipat lang ng pwesto sa parking lot.

[speed unlimited]

Yes para maging habit na rin at for safety reason.

[admiral88]

Yes. Its a habit na. Im not comfortable without seatbelt kahit na 1 street away lang yung pupuntahan.

[digitalron]

Yup! It's an automatic habit of mine. Even if I'm only switching the positions of the two cars I have,to put one in front of the other, I make it a point to buckle up. I always have this (call it crazy) thought in my head that at any time, a wayward truck would come rampaging down our road and hit the car I'm on, hehe!

Besides, I feel more comfortable with the seatbelt on than off whenever I'm in the front of the car, whether as a driver or a passenger. I guess I don't want to be the guy flying off the windshield when the car suddenly stops.

[shadow]

yup! aside from following the law and it's for my own good, I can't stand the beeping noise in our cars when the seatbelt is not buckled.

[malinkelly]

yes.. mas comfortable ako kapag naka-seatbelt ako...
