I wasn't buckled in
What happened?
My family members were back at home. I dashed out of the car in order to go to work.
Seat belts can be uncomfortable but you should still wear them and parents should make sure that their children do so when they are in the car. You could have been badly hurt in case of a car accident.
It's okay, I usually don't wear one when I ride a bike.
I beg your pardon, from what you had said I thought that you were driving to work in an automobile. If you were on your bicycle, then there is no need for a seat belt, but you should still be very careful about what you are doing. And, of course, always wear your seat belt in a car.
