quote of the day
You're playing with your life if you don't wear a seat belt, even if your car comes with state-of-the-art safety devices, such as automatic emergency brakes. We hope our new requirement will help furt

Had a minor accident 15 yrs ago going about 2 kph. Bicyclist hit the car and flew over the hood. Called my insurance company about it later. Their first question "was everyone in your vehicle wearing their seat belts?" - that was before asking about injuries, damages, anything else.
Seems there is a clause in many insurance policies that requires seat belt use or they don't pay.
