Re: What next, jaywalking?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I guess the way I look at it is that if I want to be a moron by not wearing a seatbelt, I am only hurting myself. [/ QUOTE ] Trust me, sport. If one of your tires blows and you crash into oncoming traffic, and you die because of not wearing a seatbelt, the guy who's hood you're now an ornament on is definitely affected. Killing someone, even if it was completely unavoidable, is a pretty damn tough thing to live with. Swede [/ QUOTE ] Even worse if the other driver is actually at fault for the wreck. I think you'd be hard pressed to find something a cop could do on a daily basis that will save more lives than getting people to buckle their seatbelts.

Re: What next, jaywalking?
The reason why they make you wear a seatbelt is the same reason why they make people on motorcycles wear helmets. Some dude w/o insurance gets into an accident and has tens of thousands of dollars in hospital bills (that might have been avoided if a seatbelt was worn). Since the guy who got hurt can't afford to pay it, who has to pick up the bill? We do as taxpayers. The seatbelt law is designed to cut down on these types of expenses.

Re: What next, jaywalking?
Typical situation of the govenrment Micro managing our lives. You want to wear a seatbelt wear it. You dont want to dont. End of story.
I personaly thinks its crap. Resources are better spent somewhere else. I do not wear a seat. I think it os my choice. I do wonder what our forefather would think if they could see what a F***in mess our country is due to the government.
