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.

high school in 1998 - we 100% were wearing seatbelts by default.

Of course the drunk uncle sometimes wasn’t.

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?
