    Make everyone always wear their safety gear, be it in the car, on the bike, at the workplace. Make them. Always. Do not allow anyone to omit anytime, never ever.

    Anon could be fucking his happy girlfriend of five years right now if he had followed this simple rule.

      Also, never let your passenger put their feet up on the dashboard. Unless they want their lungs punctured by their own tibia.

      I dated someone a long time ago and when they first got into my car, I waited for them to put their seatvrlt on. They refused. I told them the car isn’t moving until their seatbelt is on, and if they take it off, the car stops.

      • I used basically the same strategy when my dad first lit a cigarette in my car.
        This thing isn’t moving an inch if you smoke and I’ll stop if you light it again.

        Times have changed. They thankfully don’t even smoke in their own car anymore.
        I vividly remember the hell of road trips with both my parents smoking with the windows up and I’m not dealing with this in my own car or home.

      Wow you’re a dick. Imagine forcing people to do something. Instead you should just boot them out of said vehicle if they don’t want to wear one.

      Your way is the dictatorial cretin way.
