It's for nasty crashes, what else? And since those don't happen often
(especially in town driving), there's no point in wearing one.

Except when you are rear-ended, or T-boned by texting fool.

seat belts don't matter in a rear-end collision because a person will
be pulled back into the seat.

with a t-bone side collision, it could go either way. a seat belt would
hold a person in place which could make things worse, or it could
prevent an ejection, preventing a worse outcome.

a driver who is paying attention would be able to avoid either scenario.
