Naah, this is bullshit, seatbelts have saved my head from concussion quite a few times just from having to brake unexpectedly for traffic.

Ironically, it's a no-brainer. Wear the seatbelt.

    This is starting to smell fishy. It's like you're all having a hard time parsing what I'm saying and jumping to spitting out the PSA.

    Because your dumbass just told a public forum that we shouldn't be afraid of car crashes.

    Literally the dumbest possible thing one could add to the conversation.

    You typed words onto a public forum. Then you told the people reading them you didn't say that, when they can just scroll up and see you say that.

    Are you talking about this post?

    Not saying that people shouldn’t wear seat belts, but this is something you shouldn’t worry about. Seat belt laws work because if 350,000,000 people wear them, then you save thousands of lives each year. But getting killed in a car accident is still exceedingly rare. I could bet 10,000 people $200 that if they don’t wear a seat belt that they’ll still be alive at the end of the year and come out a millionaire.

    So wear a seat belt. But don’t get paranoid.

    Where I start with "Not saying that people shouldn’t wear seat belts" and end it with "So wear a seat belt."
