Absolutely it can.



My greatest concern is I might have my life saved and have to spend it as a paraplegic where I might otherwise have been killed outright.

Quite a few guys in the commercial trucking world, including myself, believe this to be true.  If a seat belt makes the difference between life and death in a 100,000 lb vehicle, you probably won't  want to live.



There was a time when the cops would leave us alone if not belted in a large commercial vehicle, but not anymore!  The cops have no problems creating gridlock by pulling us over even in town  to write up a seat belt ticket to fill those quotas!



Spending 20 minutes belted up in a dump truck would have them crying like a baby, and they'd then understand why many of us don't wear them.

This is a dumb thread.



Wear your seat belt people, it could save your life.


How about, its a good idea, but exercise your freedom of choice! I sure as fuck dont need it to be a law. It doesnt matter anyway though cause I dont follow it.

My truck was recalled for the airbag years ago. I never brought it in. They send letters now and then asking me to bring it in. Apparently a metal piece explodes when the passenger airbag is triggered and it blasts out, potentially killing people.

I disconnected the wire under the seat of the ranger. When I brought the truck in to fix the heat they reconnected it, as well as put fuses in for the horn and interior light even though I didn't ask them to.

Ford makes it easy to disable the feature.  This is for F150's, but I believe my Ranger used the exact same method.  This should be in your owners manual.  It's probably better to use this method, since disconnecting wires may affect the airbags...

As previously stated, my proceedure is I hop in the car, start it, drive off, and wait for as long as it takes for the ding to stop.  :laugh3:

Dodge vehicles are the worst. GM's ding the least amount. No more than 2 minutes. Most of the time, I dont even hear the noise.  I do have to tell people to fuck off now and then tho. My older kids fuck with me about it, asking "whats that dinging noise?" "Is there something wrong with the car?"

There's a procedure on the Fords that I own and have owned that will disable the warning chime and dash warning light.  On other makes where this isn't possible, some guys will grab the male buckle part from a junkyard and just leave that plugged into the buckle...

I dont always wear the seatbelt... If I like leave the store and head home, I dont wear seatbelt most of the time.



But incase of any kind of collision, you are fucked without a seatbelt.




I've been in several accidents. Never bad enough to get hurt from no belt.



If I'm on the companies clock, I wear a belt. When I'm racing, I wear a belt.
