If you had been a driver for a substantial number of years prior to the enactment of required seat belt wearing in your state ..... in the year prior to that requirement how often did you wear a seat belt?

This is how I responded to Xan's post in the "Left is Eating Itself" thread:

My great-uncle back in the '60s rigged an airplane harness to his car's seat so that he could have a seatbelt.

Ha. That brought back a memory. I put seat belts in a 1953 Buick and a 1966 VW Beetle. I totaled the Beetle and the seat belt probably saved my life. I did not need laws to convince me seat belts were a good idea. I had an uncle who was a fighter pilot in WWII that convinced me - with a story about how a student in his flight class forgot to fasten his seat belt. When the instructor inverted the open cockpit bi-plane, the student fell out of the plane and was killed.
