You might just as well try to convince me the Earth is flat.

Well said. I truly cannot believe some of the notions that safety equipment is not worth the weight and price, and the miniscule fuel costs to carry said devices. If you value saving a few dollars per year in gas more than your own life, I think you should see a counselor, take some classes on auto safety design, and make sure to check the donor box on your drivers license. Don't have kids either, they'll just die if you get involved on an accident.

Then go on a diet, and drive naked, I'm willing to bet at least a few people worried about vehicle weight are their own worst enemy.

Cars are a factor of our modern culture, perhaps farming and sticking to a horse and buggy, or a bicycle, would suit you better. At the very least don't spread the idea that not wearing your seatbelt is worth it. Some impressionable teen might find this thread.

By the way, a 20 year old drunk kid crashed into a tree near my town this week. He survived because he had his seat belt on. Two of his three young passengers died. Those girls flew from the car.
You do the math.

Gasstingy I'm so sorry for your loss.
