While I can't recall my earliest memories, I can without a shadow of doubt say that I have never ridden in a car without a seatbelt. And definitely not since I started driving. It takes two seconds to strap it on, and is WAY LESS hassle than the possible outcome if an accident should occur.
As for the rude comments that others have made. Clearly, you are new to this place. This is where some people feel the need to release the ugly thoughts and comments and jokes that are usually filtered out of common conversation, as they feel they are anonymous and you won't know 'they' said it. Ignore them and they won't bother you. Comment on them, and they'll get worse, much worse. Just look at any of the suicide threads to see proof of that.
I'm sorry this poor sucker got wasted, and I try to avoid the rude comments, but 40K people are killed on the roads of America every year. I can't get too worked up about them all. Hell, I can't even get too worked up about the half dozen or so kids that have bit it near where I live, and I have to see their goddamn memorials everyday.
