You not wearing a seatbelt puts other people in the vehicle at risk because your body becomes a massive flying object in the cabin when you are hit that can injure or kill others in the vehicle with you.

You the sort of person who will tie down a bag of dog food or bag of soup cans when you load them into a vehicle without a trunk?

[defrost]

Absolutely.

Also the person that ties down loads with multiple ropes | straps truckies hitches and stoppers. Not to mention stopping every few hundred miles to check tensions and reset as required.

Loose loads are a pain in the arse and often dangerous.

A soup can rolling loose and jamming up under a brake or accelerator pedal is something that really happens .. and it's no fun when it does.

BTW I wonder why space behind a pedal is still a thing. If I were building a car, I would make it impossible to put anything under pedals, much like you cannot jam anything below a piano key.

Making a really tight seam is its own problem-- ever encounter an old piano with keys that stick?

I just put them in passenger foot area, good enough.

[Swizec]

Yes. I always put seatbelts on big stuff in the rear seats
