GOP Senator Won't Wear a Seat Belt in D.C.

[RandySF]

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) told Fox News that he doesn’t wear a seat belt when he’s driving in Washington, D.C. so he can act more swiftly if he gets carjacked.

Said Mullin: “I’m not joking when I say this. I drive around in Washington, D.C. in my Jeep and, yes, I do drive myself. And I don’t buckle up. And the reason why I don’t buckle up, and people can say whatever they want to, they can raise their eyebrows at me, again, is because of carjacking.”

1. Wouldn't that make it easier? They can just grab him and pull him out.

And he can get seriously injured in a crash.

Maybe I am misunderstanding how car jacking works in his scenario?

You never know when you will have to leap out of your vehicle unhindered by a seat belt to avoid criminals.

All they would have to do is slam on the brakes

12. Biking without a helmet makes for a much faster getaway too, I recommend he consider practicing that.
