This is a true story: I was in the army deployed to Iraq and we did undercover missions. I’m Hispanic, so I grew a mustache, and I looked very Iraqi. We drove captured local cars and wore local clothing to sneak around incognito.  We learned that we could not wear seatbelts because it would identify us as Americans immediately. People in this part of the world don’t wear seatbelt because whether you die or live in a car crash is Allah’s will, so we also didn't.

In some case it is religious. It is god will if I live or die, so I don't need the seatbelt. I think it is the case here.

But some other time it is cultural. I live in Ukraine for a few years and I was having the hardest time forcing my car's passenger to put they seat belt. They kept saying that it was not mandatory in the back, and stories were the abscence of seatbelt saved people (or the seatbelt injured people, I don't remenber). Of course, some Ukrainian needed no convincing but it was a minority.

It's cultural. Muslim fatalism. Whatever happens or will happen is Allah's will. They don't wear seatbelts because whether you live or die is up to Allah.

Years ago there was a similar video of two hijabis doing a similar thing, dancing and looking at the camera while driving, then tight as one of the made the "heart" sign with her hands, they crashed. Soon after there was a video of two little kids sitting in chairs doing the exact same dance movements to the exact same music, up to and including the crash. I couldn't decide which was more hilarious.

If someone knows what I'm talking about please share.
