    in 1998? yes we definitely were wearing a seat belt. I didn’t see many in my circle not wearing them. Of course the drunk uncle sometimes wasn’t.

      Maybe it’s a local thing, but back then many of my grown up relatives were still on the “but what if I need to get out of the car quick” bandwagon.

      Motherfucker, you ain’t gonna be in any shape to get out of the car if you ain’t wearing a seat belt.

      The drunk uncle would hook the seatbelt up before getting in so he didn’t hear the bell. Said it was safer that way, because he happened to survive a car accident once and claimed wearing a seatbelt would have killed him.

          We might have had the same uncle. Was he a back room tattoo artist who learned in prison too?
