René, a sad situation and I sympathise but I have also had friends saved due to wearing their belts so I have the opposite attitude. Since their accident I have ALWAYS worn my belt and feel 'undressed' without it. That said I was pulled up and reprimanded by the police for driving 10 yards from a car park to a ferry without restraining myself or my children for the journey.
I think national statistics speak for themselves from the big drop in deaths and serious injuries since compulsory seat belt use came in.

Download and read? In the seat belt section they are required for only the two outer front seats of vehicles first registered after 1st Jan 1965 up to 1981. They require an upper body restraint but not a lap restraint, so lap only belts have never been acceptable for these seats.
