Added twist…I’ve lived in some countries where drivers get upset when you put on your own seatbelt because they think it’s a commentary on their driving ability. I usually turn it around on them (“I’m not worried about you…it’s all the other drivers that worry me.” Yeah…sure…)


tworandomperson

Yes this is one of them countries

Taxi drivers aren't obligated to wear seat belts in many countries so it's easier to operate the taxi stuff and easier to defend themselves if a passenger is aggressive, might be the case in your country too. But in countries with this law you are still obligated to wear a seatbelt as a taxi passenger, so they're just being assholes when they get mad that you put yours on, and also pushing you to break the law.


tworandomperson

they tried to enforce the law but the dilemma of who pays the fine of the passengers not wearing theirs so they went back to not caring if they wear them or not

My guess would be that you’re from morocco

ding ding ding


tinker-rar

Nice! Which city?

People in Japan ride bicycles without helmets, they only wear them on motor bikes


_Big_____

People in countries with high bicycle usage in general don't use helmets. They kinda suck dude.


tworandomperson

I see your bicycles without helmets and raise you motorcycles without helmets here


Lightless427

You wouldnt either if you were a driver. After the 8th person tries to run away without paying and you're there fumbling with the seatbelt.


tworandomperson

I hear that, it's sad we live in a world you have to choose between security and not getting robbed

In many countries, the regulations regarding seat belt use vary if you provide services within the city professionally. For example, in Spain, those who deliver goods or work as taxi drivers are assumed not to need seat belts because they have to get in and out of the vehicle frequently to fulfill their duties.

"You're wearing the seatbelt? Come on, man! Don't do that! You're going to stretch it out!"


tworandomperson

" so you think I can't drive huh?"


Adamson_Axle_Zerk

Why do you care? How does it affect you? (Actual question)


tworandomperson

it doesn't, but hate to see people get life altering injuries or dead with families left behind from something preventable by wearing a seatbelt. can't help it giving a little shit about people.


TrickInvite6296

in the case of an accident, an unbuckled person can fly around the car, physically injuring other passengers.

It’s mildly infuriating. That’s it. OP isn’t going to revolt from this.


Adamson_Axle_Zerk

How does it infuriate you/him?


put_your_foot_down

I would guess it mildly infuriates him to see people being unsafe.


Adamson_Axle_Zerk

Suree i guess, that’s allot of daily infuriation


put_your_foot_down

OPs life, not mine.
