I promise, from now on, I'm always wearing my sit belt. Thank you for sharing your story. Your story will change my driving safety for ever from now on. Thank you and be blessed.

Who asks if you trust their driving then takes off their seatbelt??

his bestfriend looks dead inside

Nobody rides with me, ever, without a Seatbelt. It's always been a given with me. God Bless your Son Jeremy and your Husband. ❤ Prayers for you Bill.

Praying for EVERYONE in this story...One tiny mistake should not be so expensive for all involved... 😢😭

I don't drive anymore due to my disability, but whenever I did, I NEVER left the driveway unless I knew my passenger was wearing their seatbelt. If my passenger didn't put it on, then we just never went anywhere. Even now that I don't drive, I STILL promote wearing seatbelts, because you just never know when an accident could happen.

I had to watch this video in drivers ed, and also during orientation for United States forest service. It's a very powerful video, and hopefully convinces more people to were their seat belts.

The biggest reason why I stay away from bad decisions is becasue I don't want to hurt my mom's feelings.

It breaks my heart watching videos like this no one should die

I’m so so sorry for your loss it breaks my heart to watch this ,I wish I could send you a hug 🤗

Thank you for sharing. Peace be with you and the family 🛐♥️

My heart goes out to his family and friends

This is sad. My family and I were in a car accident back in 2008. Thank goodness we were ok & nobody got hurt & thankfully we were wearing our seatbelts. Always wear a seatbelt even if you're a driver or a passenger, it keeps you safe.

Bless always in mind and heart well done keep going stay strong stay safe sending love from headway Nottingham UK xx

The very first thing I do when I get into any vehicle is buckling my seatbelt. Even if I'm not going anywhere, I will still put it on. It is such a habit for me. A good one at that.

Thank you 💕 for sharing this LIFE CHANGING information with us with LOVE from SOUTH AFRICA.

Most people always subconsciously think "Nah not me never me that could never happen to me" many people think they are indestructible....we have to always be safe and make sure amd especially if you have children...your children depend on you, your love and protection so its our duty to always be safe not just for ourselves but for the people that love us also

Planet Earth is heavy with grief.

I got into a car accident yesterday and started to search how to gain my confidence back, I’m sorry for your lost🙏🏽

Jeremy looks so kind. 😔 Billy try to forgive yourself Jeremy took off his seatbelt...he would not want you to suffer like this. 🙏

Nearly a decade on, these crashes still have impact. Let's be careful out there! Audience wishes survivors all the best. Cheers!

Wow RIP 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Sad Story For Real 🙏🌹 Jeremy 🌹🙏. From Edinburg Texas

"...when we had left the bar." "...and I was driving too fast." What the actual heck?

We flipped on the way to work years ago...about 5 times...all three of us has a seat belt and all survived....myself (front passenger) and my buddy (middle seat in van) Han no injuries..the driver hurt his hand and head..but nothing serious

truly sorry for such a young man

I was in a head on car accident and broke almost every bone in my body, I was on life support and needed to be put in a induced coma. I also spent6 months in hospital and a live in rehab to learn how to walk again . I did stop breathing on the operating table because I had aspirated into my lungs. So I did come close twice to loosing my life but I know that Thankfully I had my seatbelt on because I know 💯% I would not be here today . Also not long after my accident my very good friend was in a car accident with her daughter and both were not wearing seatbelts. They both were ejected from there vehicle and my good friend is not a paraplegic and her daughter broke her neck . SEATBELTS SAVES LIVES … 🙏

the music from CRASH ironic and fitting, the scene when Matt Dillon has to cut her out of the seat belt. my heart aches for the family. truly sorry for your loss

I am so so sorry this happened. I cannot imagine what you feel, the burden you are carrying. We never know why things happen. Why did you say that to him, why did he take it off, why did you speed and lose control? There will never be answers on this earth. I am so very sorry for his wife and family as well.

No ome allowed in my car if they don't wear a seat belt. My son died from a distracted driver did have seat belt but since it was rear ended at 75 plus hour and 4 cars in total he had brain injury is to made choices to take him off. So really distracted driving need to be talked about more also

Heartbreaking 💔 My condolences to his family and children 😢 🙏🙏🙏🌹🪦

why ? never let anyone be in a car without the seat belt on.

In Australia it’s the law to wear a seatbelt And it is the drivers responsibility that all passengers in the car are wearing a seatbelt. This is the law in Australia. The penalty for not wearing a seatbelt is huge. Make it a law Make it Jeremy’s law

I lost my son almost 9 years ago… In truly believe he would have survived if he would have had his seatbelt on.. he was ejected as well. On life support for almost a month. Hardest decision of my life.. I will carry that forever as well. Please wear your seatbelts! Many hug to you. ❤️‍🩹 He was 24.

Such a ssad stiory. CAn't bring myself to like these stories. But they are so important to show to classes that teach drivers ed

Lord I pray for this family

Wow what a sad story but very true in every way. The sadness this Family had to endure by one simple mistake by the Husband left his Children with out a Father and his wife with out a Husband. One simple mistake being careless has cost a Family a life time of Greif. May god guide them all along his path tom forgive him. Aussie Bob.

Why isn’t the law to wear a seatbelt. Here in Australia you are required by law to all wear a seatbelt and there are big penalties for not doing so. It should be required by law everywhere.

The use of the seat belts and helmets are obligatory since November 30, 1980 here in Swiss. 10 years ago I visited my sister in the US and she wasn't taking that seriously. We were arguing over that (just that). I remember feeling upset and shocked seeing her place her grandchild of 2 in the back seat and telling me on an annoyed tone that she just pretended to fasten her belt in the kids safety seat 🙄 Pfff nothing is gonna happen 🤨 I'm really so so sorry 🌷I'm sending you Love ❤️💕❤️💕❤️

What is the song in the background it’s beautiful

One nospeeding two all ways wear a seat belt. Save your life.

Heartbreaking

This video is one the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen but it is timely and informative. I commend you all for pushing past your pain to share your story with all of us. Thank you all so very much. Please don’t think me disrespect able, but the song being sung in what I believe, is Gaelic and hauntingly beautiful. Does anyone happen to know the name of it?

My cousin was a passenger in his best friends car drunken and drinking. To this day I tell my family in general be safe and if I know my niece and daughter and their friends go out PLEASE BE SAFE!!!! If I just don't feel right about that night I will tell them and it is their decision BUT PLEASE PLEASE BE SAFE!!!! I feel like I am suppose to be my cousins voice.

I'm very sorry for your loss, I always wear my seat belt. I will take this opportunity to mention distracted driving, as it is the most dangerous habit people have. Please wear your seat belt and please pay attention when you are driving. Your actions affect so many, just take the time to think about it seriously

Room to live ✝️

Watched. Didn't feel like crying once.

My best friend was killed in a car accident just 2 days before my birthday

Well, sorry to say, you did!! I’m so sorry for the family!!!!!!!!!!!

There is an old cartoon sketch on Sesame Street where a father and his boy drive to the shopping mall and the dad says 'put your seatbelt on, Billy'. It appears they braked suddenly. If you can find it, have a look. Look up Classic Sesame Street - Safety Belts.

i always wear a seatbelt get use to putting it on & you can’t go without it.

So sorry. May he RIP

I lost my husband in a car wreck too.

A firefighter told me once that he has never unbuckled a person who died in a car crash.

I was about to be killed by a driver that didn't pay attention to the pedestrian crossing. Please pay attention when you are driving.

Whats this song?

Did his friend get prison time? My daughter has a friend that was gonna be charged with vehicular manslaughter, but, the girls parents ( of the one that died, obviously) decided to drop charges. Said there was no need in his (the drivers) parents to have to lose their son as well. He got lucky in a sense...sure he sees her in his dreams though.

Maybe the ding noise for no seatbelt should be something that is intolerable

His friend straight up murdered him. What was he trying to do? Pull a Fight Club or Saw?

My brother and I had an accident a few years ago. I was slightly distracted for a minute and a lot can happen in that period of time. I partly ended up in the lane of opposite traffic. Freaked, I ended up over correcting and ran off the road into a tree going 55 miles per hour. My memory of the accident itself doesn’t exist. Both my brother and I suffered horrible injuries, my brother had to be cut out of the car by the fire dept and the jaws of life. We both were fortunate enough to be wearing our seatbelts or we would have died immediately. Seatbelts save lives. As it was, my brother spent 3 months in the hospital and I spent 6 months but it’s still better than eternity in the ground. Don’t get distracted when you’re driving and for Pete’s sake where your seatbelt.

New York state it's a law to wear a seat built most newer cars has a sensor if it's not put on so older car you can get away w it

you never move the car i=until everyone wears the seatbelt.

I fully believe in the use of seatbelts. However, I also have a DNR and a request for no heroic measures request on file at the closest hospital. If something as horrific as a rollover accident, or head on collision happens to you there’s no telling what injuries you may sustain. I have no desire to live in a vegetative state, chronically impaired, unable to care for myself, or become a burden upon others. I’ve discussed this extensively with my family. The body may be present, but what was once known as the person that you knew may be long gone. There are insurance limitations, lengthy disability wait lists, and court costs / time delays that could be years in the making. Meanwhile my body has essentially given up, but others want my physical presence while I’ve no longer been “me” since the instance of the actual accident. I’ll always wear my seatbelt, but remember that there are other things to be considered in each & every single incident. Sometimes no matter how advanced our medical system may be, the inevitable consequence stares the survivors in the face immediately. May all be safe on the road of life 🤞

Someone turned on the water I'm in tears

I never wear my seatbelt but this reminds me to wear it ☠️

We airways wear our seat belts for this very reason! Why did he take his off? That was on him.

😔😥🙏🏻

God takes us when it’s our time ..yes seat belts save lives. 🙏✌️💙. ✝️

So his dad felt the need to tell him how he screwed up while hes moments from death....

So its just coincidence that friend asked "do you trust my driving?" and then rolls the vehicle right after he unbuckled? This clip is mostly a warning to wear your seatbelt, but I personally think the biggest take away here is "Don't drive while impared". Driver being impared is probably what led to him asking his friend if he trusts his driving. The passenger being impared is what led to him accepting the drivers challenge to unbuckle because trust would keep him safe. Until it didn't.... Another thing I noticed was the fact that best friend and wife weren't in the same room while sharing what happened that night. He's not the only one that blames himself and I can't blame her for hating him for it. This wasn't an accident! It might not have been intentional, but it was 100% preventable. Wife doesn't have her husband and kids don't have their father just because the driver asked "do you trust my driving?" and the passenger did.... At this point, the driver doesn't even trust his driving anymore. Dale Earnhardt was a good driver... until he wasn't. Don't allow yourself to get that comfortable behind the wheel. 52% of accidents happen within a 5 mile radius of your home simply because you're more comfortable with your surroundings. It's sad that multiple people die in car accidents EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I'm sure theres probably been 10 fender benders around the world just since I started commenting here. This is a sad situation, but the look on the drivers face tells me that he will never forgive himself. The driver is still breathing, but a big piece of him also died that night...

So the fact that alcohol was also a contributing factor gets passed over.

Do you not have laws to put seatbelts on ?.

Do you know how many cops ive seen unbuckled compared to civilians

I don’t want to be trapped in a burning vehicle. I am terrified of entrapment. I just don’t know which to do. Wear a seatbelt or don’t. Like if the vehicle catches on fire I can’t imagine burning alive bc I’m trapped or if the vehicle flips into water and I drown bc I’m trapped. I just try not to think about it but all these possibilities run through my head.

Please please please use your seat belt. !

Wearing a Seat Belt should be compulsory. Not only should he have kept his Seat Belt on - he should have had in his thoughts, he was a husband & father with a wife & children depending on him. Parents are meant to be responsible adults, setting a sensible example to their children. I am not writing this for Jeremy - too late sadly. I am writing this for people reading this to learn & to teach their family & friends to think first of others & all impacts their irresponsible behaviour could have on such a lot of people in their lives. That goes for friends driving their friends. As a driver, you have family members to think of, your friends has family members to think of. Drivers are responsible for their passengers safety. One other thought. Parents & other people seeing this video - copy & paste to your computer & show to members of your family & to your friends if you are concerned for them. Be positive. Take action. Do not just tell them about this video, show them!! WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT!!

How can this video have 7 dislikes? Smfh

Wait….so his buddy made him take his seatbelt off? Wtf? Dude should be charged!!

Well...he knew the friend was drinking and he also chose not to wear a seat belt. Don't be too hard on bill

This video appeared in my algorithm today, and convicted me quickly. I hope this family and his friend, are finding some space of peace in 2024. Whatever that looks like for them. I will continue wearing my seatbelt. 🤍 - March 14th, 2024.

What kind of a friend asks.. Do you trust my driving? Take your seat belt of? In Australia, it's mandatory.. No yes or no. about it.. That to me is premeditated murder..
