Yeah I wear a seatbelt, and yes it is compulsory. Even if is wasn't compulsory I'd still wear it. I came across an accident that had just happened seconds before where the car went into the back of a truck. The driver and front seat passenger were fine, but the woman who had been in the back seat wasn't wearing a seatbelt and had gone face first into the dashboard, dislocating and ripping her jaw almost off. She was still very much alive, and the moans and cries coming from her mangled face still freak me out. *shudder*
A friend of mine was in a low speed (-30mph) accident, sitting in the front passenger seat without a seatbelt, and just her head went through the windscreen. She's now blind in both eyes.
Sure, being forced to wear seatbelts infringes on your freedom of choice, but for me the choice is a no-brainer anyway.
