And for good reason. A single unbelted person in the car is a serious threat to everyone else in an accident. You could end up paying for it with your life if you let it slide. I think the statistic is something like a 20% increased risk of death in an accident when a single passenger is unbuckled.

And I hate that "aren't you a good driver" idiocy. Sure, but aren't all those other drivers on the road the worst?

I've read some stories about this happening from people who work in the ER. Having someone else's teeth pulled from your skull doesn't sound like the best way to go.

I kind of wonder if these people understand momentum.
