Hi Freddie
I live in Turkey, they have a very casual idea about seat belts and road safety generally. I cringe everytime I see a car with the dutiful but stupid wife next to her man in his big merc or bmw going hell for leather, neither of them with belts on, and guess what is sitting on the womans lap. heir very young offspring with another running loose in the back,and just to add spice to the story he is usually engaged in a conversation on his mobile and smoking at the same time. See it every day,time after time. Turkey does not yet understand why so many of their people die in car accidents every year. But I do . Seat belts have very little to do with it.
