Not Look Awkward when Wearing a Seatbelt
If wearing a seatbelt bothers you, it pays to look at survival statistics for accidents with seatbelts on and with seatbelts off. The figures will convince you that looking a little odd with the belt on is worth it. If it really bothers you still, here are some ideas.
Steps
- Color coordinate your outfit with the seatbelt. That way it will not stand out against your clothes and will make it harder to see that you are wearing a seatbelt.
- Color the seatbelt. Add funky designs to it to make it cool and interesting. You could stick on decorative items as well, such as sequins or pom-poms.
- Look at other people in the car with you. Guess what? You all look the same, so you can all feel awkward together!
- Accept the reason for wearing the belt. It is about safety, not looks. People don't worry about how a flak jacket looks, or a safety harness when bungee jumping. There are safety items that say "Wow! I like doing something potentially dangerous but I am taking a sensible precaution to increase my odds of survival." Actually, when you think about it... it's pretty cool.
