    The law says you get fined £50 if you aren't wearing a seatbelt in the front.

    Ok, I see 90% of ET respondents so far wear a belt. Damn, that means there are more sane people here than I thought!

  7. No seatbelt ever. When i crash and burn, my family will sue the auto makers for predatory seatbelt laws. Its not my fault, who reads warnings and the fine print, personal responsibility is a concept of the past.

    My best friend was killed at age 16 while out joy riding.

    I've worn a SB religiously ever since.





    I also feel much safer when I'm strapped into a bar stool as well.

  9. I'll be honest. I never wore one until they were legally required. However I was saved from severe injury in my recent accident because of the belt and harness. Not to mention my airbag failed to deploy.

    Too many people think trading is all about taking risks, but it is all about controlling risk.
    Everyday we all wake with unlimited risk. As we go through the day we try to manage that risk.
    Any travel requires risk, yet air travel is the lowest risk. If you don't hold overnight because of risk. Then choosing car over airplane is like holding overnight with no stops.
    Any accident is a black swan event. You respect the black swan in your trading yet not in your personal life.
