We all should care, that's the thing. When he dies in an X5 then all of our insurance rates go up. Same story with motorcycle riders not wearing helmets.

The only time not to wear a seatbelt is when you are driving over an iced lake or river. Don't forget to roll your window down too.

Strap up, please, it's the right thing to do.

This is supposed to be an X5 forum. Who cares if he wears a belt or not. Your slating an active fellow forum member because you dont agree with his views regardless of whether they are flawed or not.

What is up with all of you. Why dont you concern yourself more with the gun laws and keeping your own kids safe!

we are trying to save one man at a time... it is strange, that Alex has gone silent - I hope he did not test his pillow/blanket theory...

As a matter of fact, about 20 minutes ago I saw a young guy driving a chevy "somethingsmall", with no belt on, and judging by his Adidas sport getup, he is definetely Russian - only russians wear Adidas in public, outside of a gym... That is "BRATKI" mentality...
he was leaning so close to the steering wheel, that i was wondering if he will have a chance to grab a pillow on his way out through the windshield... lol...

Lol. I wonder, people bitch about wearing a belt, have they actually tried to maneuvered NYC streets (or their own hood) while wrapped in a blanket, and a pillow strapped to the chest? Lol. I just pictured that. Lol again.

spirited driving calls for a seatbelt... we already argued this argument with Alex before... he did not learn from that, it is his life school - we can't graduate it for him... I just hope that his denial of the experience of so many before him will not cost him dearly... there was some saying about, that smart learn from his mistakes and wise learns from mistakes of others... something to that effect...
