I assume I should buckle my seatbelt.
Not every car ride results in an accident. But enough do.
- parineum 8mo agoIt's safe to assume you won't get in an accident. You _should_ buckle your seatbelt anyway because it's low effort, high reward in the unlikely case you get in an accident.

- parineum 8mo agoIndeed, your chances of needing a seatbelt for a particular car trip are very low but, over many trips, it becomes a safe assumption you'll be in an accident and, therefore, generally good policy to be prepared for that eventuality.
