I usually don't put it on until right before I pull onto a major street. I'm not very good about it. I know better too, and I'm going to get myself hurt or killed some day. :bbredface:

I put it on right after I start the engine, before I go anywhere. I'll even put it on if I am just changing parking spaces or moving my car from parking on the street to the driveway. It's force of habit, I guess.

As soon as my butt hits the seat. I got into the habit a long time ago.
I usually put it on as I am backing out of my driveway

I put my seat belt on as soon as the engine is started! I have been in two accidents when I wasn't wearing my seat belt and I was very lucky I wasn't killed in the first. (I would have went through the windsheild if it hadn't been for the dash!) So yeah, I don't go anywhere without it!!! It takes two seconds to click it and saves lives, why not put it on right away?

Usually right when I sit down in the seat. On a rare occasion, I don't wear a seat belt...like if I'm just driving across the street or something.

I usually sit down, turn the car on, then put m seatbelt on. The put the car in gear and head out to where I'm going. I don't ever ever drive anywhere without my seatbelt... whether driving or a passenger. And, I refuse to let any passenger in my car go without a seatbelt. It's just unsafe.

As a rule, mine goes on after I have started the engine. If I am driving to the corner store or around the corner to the sitter's, I may not buckle it, but I really should.

You really should, Lizabeth, because they say the majority of accidents happen less than 10 miles from your home.

Most of the time I put it on right when I sit down. Sometimes I simultaneously start the car and put my seat belt on. I never go without it and will not allow anyone in my car without wearing one.

I put mine on as I am driving down the road....usually when I meet a farmer or another truck it reminds me to buckle up....I need to do better, I know!

I don't normally wear one. I really should though.. I always ask Kolton if his is on, so I should just put mine on at the same time.

Usually after I start the car. Sometimes I don't even wear it because I'm going a short distance. In Danville, I never wear it, unless I see the only town cop sitting somewhere, then I told it down.

I either do it after I sit down or after I start the car but either way I put it on before the car even moves.

I normally start the car first, expecially in the winter, to get a jump on warming it up...lol. I will nut put my vehicle in gear unless everyone has their seatbelt on. Steve frustrates me because he normally doesn't put his on until he is pulling up to the stop sign at the end of the street.

Update: Since my last post in this thread I now put my belt on before I get out of my driveway and in the parking lot at work, shopping etc....

I put mine on then start my car. It is not a law her ein NH for every one over 18 to wear their seat belt. My husband doesn't unless we are going on a trip and it is needed. I tend not to when I am a passenger for some reason. I just dont think about it I guess. As long as my kids an dI are buckled up then I dont force any one else to do so as it is not the law here in the state.

typically I for some reason have gotten into the habbit of putting it on after I put it into gear, I'm really sure why lol.
I used to never really think too much about seatbelts, and only wore them every once in a while, but then a little over 3 years ago, one of my friends died, and could have lived if she had been wearing a seatbelt.

I normally put it on as soon as I get in the car. And I always wear it. A girl I went to high school with died in an accident cause she didn't wear hers. Also my uncle was almost killed in an accident, but the seatbelt helped save his life. So I wear it without fail.

Howerver when i was pg i could not get our old card seatbelt arround me and it took almost 3 month after my dd was born to get it to fit. We bot pulled over twices in a month for me not having one on and finaly i told the officer if he what to try and get it on fine i would let him.

I always do a cross check when I get in my car because it makes me laugh.
My FH is a pilot and everytime we are together in the car he tells me this:
Welcome to Calvin Airlines!
Please put your trays in the upright position
Fasten all seat belt
and prepare for departure
I tell myself that every time, it makes me smile!

I put the seat belt on immediately after I sit because I sometimes forgot when I dont do it immediately :)
