Always on public roads and off-road it depends on the terrain, ex never when crossing water and always when playing on the dunes….

Yes, it became a habit, sometime I put it on when I pull the vehicle into the garage and only afterwards realize what I have done.

Ronny sometimes uses his when we are driving through the game farm, I say hey take that thing off, and off it comes, I recon that the best seat belt is the double harnes type, but that is only my ideas.

Was in a serious car accident about 13 years ago. Yellow lane driver pulled in front of us. Rolled on tar and then did the old hop skip and jump through ditches. Was hanging from my safety belt as the car ended up sideways (and I was the passenger). Got out with only a cut, concussion and slight injured back. Safety belts rule!!!!! :lol:

I agree with Doctor V you wont beleive how many ppl dont ware belts all the new BM`s have very irritating belt warnings so the owners plug the belt in behind the seat so it does not gong. However I dont think any of them have any idea what air bags can do to ones face.

Secondly I know of lots of ppl who have lost there lives because of not wearing belts because they fall out the car when in a roll over or though the screen when I did BMW road service I saw lots of this as well as doing accident investigations for work.
