Then you'll be relieved to know that least one person did. When Mr. Smith was in Earl's car and they were about to set off in search of a victim, Earl told him to buckle up, which he did.

It is odd, but you will often notice that movie/TV characters aren't wearing seatbelts. In filmmaking, they are sitting in "Process Cars," which are modified cars hooked up to the back of trucks holding the camera equipment. So, the driver is just mimicking their driving a car. Maybe because they are faking that, they don't wear seatbelts.
