      in 1998? yes we definitely were wearing a seat belt. I didn’t see many in my circle not wearing them. Of course the drunk uncle sometimes wasn’t.

        Of course the drunk uncle sometimes wasn’t.

        The drunk uncle would hook the seatbelt up before getting in so he didn’t hear the bell. Said it was safer that way, because he happened to survive a car accident once and claimed wearing a seatbelt would have killed him.

      In Germany you have to wear a seatbelt since 1976. Where are you from that you still didnt had this law in 1998?

          Click in the belt and sit on it. Or cut off the buckle and click it in place, or order a spare and click that one in if you don’t want to damage your seatbelt.

          Please don’t do these things. If you are in the car, you should have your seatbelt on. Even if you are just sitting in a parking lot.
