Kostya, you're lucky to have seen the damage that cars can cause. Even at the "slow" speed of 30 miles an hour, there's a huge impact force involved. Ever wonder why gov't crash testing only occurs at 40-50 (and that's a recent change...previously, they were done at 30)? At higher speeds, no car would pass the test very well. At higher speeds, the damage just gets ridiculous.
I always wear my seatbelt. I was lucky to have parents that mandated it as a kid. Because of them, putting on a seatbelt has become subconscious. And let me say that any driving, even if you're going from the driveway to park on the street, requires seatbelts. You never know when some nut is driving like a madman down the street as you pull out.
