    Firstly, fuck the assholes who go into the whole right wing punisher bullshit. Just getting that part of this out of the way.

    Secondly, wear your fucking seatbelt. It’s literally there to save your fucking life. And the lives of those around you. Just fucking do it.

    But finally, there are legitimate uses for (non punisher themed, I guess) seat belt silencers. Because of her disabilities, my mom had to use one of these for most of my life. She was unable to wear the seatbelt. There are also autistic folks with doctors notes exempting them from it because of severe sensory issues. Also, have you never put a bag of groceries on the passenger seat, only to be annoyed to hell and back by the beeping?

      No, actually I don’t want right-wing assholes wearing their seat-belts. The sooner they take themselves out the better. Let them win the Darwin award.

            Well yes?

            Classic is no seat belt in the back, children killing their parents (and dying), but there are also people flying out of the front windshield into the other frontal crashing car killing people in there.

            We got laws for a reason, not just to jerk with people.

      I could use one on my empty passenger seat because the sensor in the seat is defective(where it thinks there’s always a passenger) but i instead just buckle the seatbelt across the empty seat.

      Yeah i was gonna say this.

      I’d never drive while a passenger isn’t wearing a belt (notwithstanding the exceptions you mentioned).

      However, it is kind of annoying i cant put things on the front passenger seat while I’m running errands.

      Another example would be on farms. Forever getting in and out of the car for gates or what have you, feeding livestock, et cetera.

      I think the punisher skull is a bit much though.

      It’s hilariously ironic when people like that are repping the whole punisher iconography too because they’re the kind of people the punisher would go after.
