G-12, with all due respect (and I mean it) wearing/not wearing a seat belt isn't going to change much. In fact, there was a truck driver around these parts who died BECAUSE he had his seatbelt on.

I would respond to any officer who's yowling at me for not wearing a seatbelt and who asks that same question thusly:

"Officer, do you not think that it's much more prudent and safe to drive in such a manner that one does not NEED a seatbelt?" Let him answer THAT.

I refuse to wear a seat belt unless and until I'm hauling one of my trailers; especially the camper due to it's size and weight. If I'm running truck only I will not wear a seat belt.

It's called FREEDOM...

In any case - ALL of us should drive safely, carefully and PAY ATTENTION to the road and traffic.

FWIW.
