I've been wearing a seat belt for as long as I can remember. I tell the kids to wear them, and spank them if they take their seat belts off without exceptionally good reason before we're stopped.

I also make sure that they wear their shoulder belts correctly, actually threatening them with the thought of being cut in half by simply wearing their lap belt. I believe someone posted that you'd have to be speeding at over 90 mph to be cut in half by your lap belt, so I'll add: I don't care if the lack of seat belt will allow me to be "thrown free" of the wreckage. My hitting anything at 90 mph, even a pool full of water or a gigantic fluffy pillow full of goose down, is going to be a painful experience.
