I disagree with your statement BBS Spy.
I'm a bus driver and I'm glad they haven't found a way of rigging up a seat belt cause I HATE wearing them!!
It should be freedom of choice.
I know a girl who was driving her "Sprinter"mini-bus back to the depot, when she tried to overtake an artic tipper,
Now, granted our roads round here aren't wide, nor, well enough maintained, but some of our "B"-roads are reclassified "A"-roads, so there is still some room for manouvere..., but, this lass misjudged the road and lost control on the edging, she veered back into the truck, bounced off it, back to the roadside, rolled back into the truck, and rolled twice before stopping.
She was catapulted from the driver's seat, through the opposite rear nearside window, and survived.., and that was because she had no seat-belt on.
Yes she was in hospital for a while, but she's alive and still driving buses today.
I'm sorry if this opens up a can of worms, but I HATE SEATBELTS!!
And the winner of the Darwinism statement of the year goes to ..... My17 Volvo XC90 Inscription
MY15 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian
RGK Tiga Fx Wheelchair,
Large Alsation called Abbs 
Medium blue Staffie called Piglet
Medium Alsation called Bailey

I think one of the 'best' photos I've seen was from South Africa I believe, where a drunk driver in an Audi crossed the centreline and hit a G4 head on.
It was from just after I bought my car, and I showed it to people saying that's why I got mine. The Audi was unrecognizable, the LR looked like it needed the scratches buffed out. (it was heavily damaged , but still recognizable)
This crash reminded me of that picture.
