Indeed Julian. Not wearing them would be crazy. I might as well try
aerobatics without a negative g strap in my little moped of the skies.
That however conflicts with my secret desire to ride very fast on a
highly powered motorbike ... ;-)

Personally, I cannot imagine getting into a car and NOT putting a
seatbelt on. Irrespective of the law, it seems like a reasonable self

aids in the vehicle, all of which work better if your body is
restrained into broadly the correct place in the car should disaster
strike.
As a side benefit, when car designers can assume that a seatbelt is
being worn, they can tailor the safety aids much more precisely, which
leads us to the smaller and less dangerous European airbag designs.
