Seat belts, anyone?

Maybe it's just me, but the last scene really bothered me. Okay, fine, "Catch" is learning to deal with his grief and live again, so he tells Sharon, "I'll drive." That's nice, but he appeared to get into the driver's seat, NOT bother with a selt belt, and then took his eyes off the road to look at her. NOT a great way to get back into driving for someone traumatized by a car accident that took their wife and son.
I guess putting on a seatbelt would have destroyed the poetic flow of the ending but for me, it bothered me and ruined the ending.
Or, maybe I just missed the seatbelt all together. -

I noticed that too- but I just let it go.
Besides- what difference does it make? His wife and kid had there seatbelt on didn't they? It didn't save them. Maybe it's a statement about living life involves taking risks. Putting on the seatbelts at that moment would have contradicted the messege- not the flow.

That's the thing, his kid didn't wear a seatbelt in the movie and sat in the middle of the back seat, so it was his father's own damn fault that the kid died! He probably got squashed on the inside of the windshield like a bug
And yes, I hated that they didn't put on seatbelts. I mean, first of all, she is a cop and also he had a very bad car accident, but apparently he didn't learn anything from thatwhich takes a lot away from the message of this very nice movie.
