What's the explanation given for not wearing a seatbelt, which in

Perhaps they recognise that the best way to avoid death and injury is to
avoid the collision in the first place and drive defensively.

Also, AIUI, belts are really only important in high-speed accidents;
nothing high-speed is likely to happen in London traffic.
