There are a number of reasons why a person may not wear a seatbelt in a car or other vehicle. These include:The person is permitted to travel in that vehicle without wearing a seatbelt, possibly for a specific job or task.A person cannot wear a seatbelt due to a medical condition.Some people may also travel in a vehicle without wearing a seatbelt because they forget to put one on, or consciously decide not to wear one (which is illegal).

By putting on your seat belt and buckling it. Only a fool would drive around without wearing a seatbelt.
In states with seatbelt laws, there is no age at which you can ride in the vehicle without wearing a seatbelt, front or back. All passengers are required to be buckled up. But in some states ,like Michigan, the age to not wear a seat belt is 16 and only in the back seat

I was actually in a rollover car accident in 2009. It was a suburban and there were 6 kids in it, including me and I was the only not wearing a seatbelt. Everyone survived and my mom got the worst, her arm was ripped to shreds. But I got out with only a couple scratches on my arm. I think my case was just lucky. I don't think it is likely for someone to survive a car crash without a seatbelt in general.
Depending on where you live, in most states (possibly all) any person(s) above the age of 16 whom aren't wearing the seatbelt get the ticket, not the driver. If the person who is without seatbelt is under the age of 16, then the driver gets the ticket.
It is for your safety. More people without a seatbelt die in car accidents than with seatbelt. So I require to use the seatbelt. See here for more information about seatbelt usage: How_much_does_it_cost_to_replace_a_window
