Seat Belt Law

[jundogg]

how serious is this? at saang lugar talaga ito implemented at may nanghuhuli?

ang alam ko lang sa nlex at slex. not sure sa edsa at secondary roads.
grabe naman kasi, walang silbi narin ang seat belt pag sobrang sikip at trapik sa kalye.
unless pag maluwag na at alanganing oras at trip mong magmabilis.use it for your life. :drive1:

Most people who died not wearing seatbelt in a vehicular accident were actually going slow (below 60kmh) so it's not a good idea to wear seatbelt only when going fast. I've read it a study back in college.

Seatbelts can save your life and the others around you. Buckle up ALL THE TIME.

+1 ako dyan.
Besides, there's no wrong in wearing a seatbelt.

sa Manila mahigpit

yup. i think anyone who's about to end up in an accident will surely go slow kahit naka-seatbelt. what kills them is the impact during sudden stop. hampas muka o katawan o kaya naman car part towards the driver.

seatbelt do save lives! but i really find it useless and uncomfortable kapag nasa gitna ka ng grabeng trapik na sobrang bagal ang usad at ang tirik pa ng araw. just imagine that ish! well in fact, that scenario is ordinary sa pinas. hay

heavy bumper to bumper traffic is still no reason for me to remove my seatbelt, imho.

[Radical!]

It feels weird for me to drive (or ride as a passenger) without wearing seatbelts. Parang may kulang. I started using seatbelts during the early 80's when cars didn't have seatbelts as standard equipment. At that time, the seatbelt law was just a thought. We actually had to purchase seatbelts and install them from TBA (Tires, Batteries and Accessories) shops. It just made sense to wear them then and it still makes sense wearing them now. Whether a law exists or not.

even though you're stuck in traffic you'll never know when a boeing 747 can fall out of the sky and hit you.

Be safe and wear a seatbelt.

It's a free country. If you don't like wearing it, then don't.

Your death wish, not mine.

+1 here.... even though i am heavily tinted, i find the use of the seatbelt necessary...

yuip. if you want to break the law, you pay the fine.

wether its a law or nor, wether ur on a crawling pace or 120 on the curbs (just make sure your suspension can handle this kind of abuse ), its still a a good idea to buckle up. kahit pag nag-ttaxi ako hahanahapan ko pa din ng seatbelt.

[GerardTagayty]

i actually feel more comfortable wearing my seatbelt while driving than not. got used to wearing it na. seatbelt first even before i start the engine before leaving. ive been flagged down a couple of times kase hindi mashado halata na soot ko seatbelt. mababa yun car plus i was wearing black. sa may taft area.

This law should be implemented. Weren't there studies abroad that showed that the unrestrained passenger was the cause for the (fatal) injury of the other restrained occupants? Anyways, I've gotten used to wearing a seatbelt. It's just kind of hard convincing those who haven't gotten used to wearing them to wear them.

Di ako makaandar kapag walang seatbelt. Kahit sa loob lang ng garahe or parking lot na tipong iuusog ko lang ng pwesto. Parang laging may kulang kapag walang seatbelt. Para dun sa mga hindi or ayaw magsuot ng seatbelt, ako pa ung natatakot para sa kanila.

And also, speeding kills

I've been buckled up ever since the late 80's. On some of our cars then, it was nothing more than a lap belt even up front.

When we tried buying seatbelts for our cars that didn't have them, the auto supply guy looked at us in a funny way. Maybe he didn't get the point of buckling up too.

I've had a near total wreck while COMPLETELY STOPPED on a side street. Some drunk rammed the car that I was in and we ended up under a parked trailer. The back of the trailer ended a few inches short of my face. If I hadn't been buckled up, I'd hit it at full speed.

Baka naman mali ang pagsuot mo ng seatbelt that's why you find them uncomfortable?

But it's you call if you want to buckle up or not...

I don't think seatbelt can save you in this kind of situation.

+1 ako sa pag-wear ng seatbelt. Better safe than sorry.

If you do not want to buckle up, the least you could do is teach the younger ones/future generation to do so.

i had this experience when i was in college... nag-start pa lang build up ng traffic sa alabang area... my friends and i were on a bus going to diliman, i was at the backmost part since maluwag yun bus then ng biglang may bumanggang bus samin! i was thrown a couple of rows, buti na lang walang tao or any sharp objects sa aisle... kung hindi eh malamang katapusan ko na yun. sad to say walang seatbelt ang mga bus lalo na sa bandang likod.... and that was a bumper to bumper traffic! so please always wear your seatbelt

[cyrusblutrooper]

basta ako e lagi naka seat belt pag nag da-drive. yun e para sa safety ko at sa safety laban sa mga corrupt na manghuhuli. Ang problema lang dyan sa seatbelt law na yan ay hindi implemented ng ayos. for example, paano malalaman ng enforcer na naka seatbelt ang heavily tinted na mga sasakyan.
