Yep, statistically things happen in within 2 miles of home. That's very true. ALWAYS wear your seatbelt when the engine is on.

Insurance point of view: They actually want you to hit what you're trying to avoid when it comes to animals. Animal in the road- not your fault....eff'n up your car so you wouldn't hit said animal: completely YOUR fault

when I was 16 I totalled my VW bug on black ice, I ended up taking out a phone pole (backwards) and put my head through the windshield. I have worn my seatbelt ever since!!

Exactly what I was going to say, we have deer all over where I work and a few guys have hit them on their way to and from the work site, and a buddy had one jump off an embankment in front of him while he was doing 60+, beat up the front of his truck but far from totaling as he would have trying to avoid the deer.

I have been wearing seatbelts any time I am on the road ever since I went airborne at an elevated RR crossing in 1961 in a VW bug. It is difficult to control pedals and steering wheel if one cannot keep his butt stuck to the seat. And strange roads can hold surprises.

a 61 bug doesnt have seatbelts anyhow

To me, it's worth putting the seatbelt on just to stop that annoying beep beep beep beep!
Honestly, I wear it all the time anyhow......need to with the way I drive
