They are obviously there to protect morons from theirselves. They collect lots of taxes. It cuts costs of cleaning up dead bodies. It prevents the government from facing opposition when someone's loved one dies because he is not wearing his seat belt. What other laws can we make to benefit the government as well as protect someone from theirself? I think curfews would be good. I think if we shut down all night life such as bars, nightclubs, pubs, ect. that we could also do lots of good. Also, guns are pretty much an accident waiting to happen, we should probably take those away from everyone. Many people who are not smart enough or capable enough waste time and resources persuing tasks which they cannot accomplish. It would be best if everyone were tested to see what they would be best to be doing then assigned to do that task. What ideas can you come up with?

i see where you're going.. but let's take it further then.
cell phones while driving should be Banned, they "can" making driving dangerous.
cell phones while Walking should be Banned, they "can" make a pedestrian walk into a street, get hit by a car.
cell phones while standing STILL should be Banned, they "can" make Other walking citizens lose concentration, thereby walk into a street, get hit by a car..
.. I mean what stops goverment from regulating "Safety" to the point where it gets closer and closer to stripping the citizen from individual freedoms?? ..you give an inch.. they'll take ..more than in inch.. and what about next time?
Being Against seatbelt laws.. isn't about being against Safety.. it's about beings Against goverment infringement on our Personal FREEDOMS.

If seat belts are so safe, why don't schoolbuses have them?
Seat belts can cause deaths also. They don't latch properly sometimes, they can break, they can jam and keep you trapped in a burning car. Some people get serious injuries and strangulation during an accident from seat belts.
Seat belts could be improved a lot. But profit motivates, and we have cheap 3 point belts.
All in all, you are safer with a seat belt than without, but some people will always only see the bad.
The best way to make a car safer is to tighten the nut behind the wheel.

Your presumption that the only guy or woman in possibility is you is truthfully incorrect. once you're a back seat passenger in a front on collision no longer wearing a belt you ought to kill the driving force or front seat passenger alongside with your head and you could walk away with a foul headache.Thats no longer giving them lots of a decision is it? those regulations are made for a reason and generally consistent with data suggesting you have an superior possibility of strolling far off from a collision mutually as wearing a belt as against being taken away in a bag for no longer wearing one.

There is an intersting study somewhere that traffic accident has stayed the same or increased because of the seat belt law. (death might have gone down) THe reasoning is people feel a lot safer with seatbelt and airbags, they tend to drive faster and more dangerously than when no one wore seatbelts.
I would say if you don't want to wear one go ahead but don't blame anyone when your head gets cut off!

Never had an issue on wearing seat belts, and Wonder why some do. To one concerned about diluting our genetic base. Same one not wearing seat belt are sucking tobacco poison . What annoys me is amount of money wasted on advertising.

Most of the Objectors seem to be the same people who worship the ACLU and who want every bit of their privacy protected, even if it means preventing the government from having the information about a pending terrorist attack.
Actually their resulting benefit is the same: a bomb under their bed or a head through a windshield. Maybr that's God talking.

They start controlling "obvious" behaviors to help protect society.
Then they start controlling other acts they disagree with.
Next thing you know its like grammar school and you're asking permission to go the the bathroom.
Once the laws to curtail freedom start its like a runaway train and you loose all personal responsibility to the state. Once they start innocuously get your consent for the small things you just accede to the larger ones because you expect the state to "do whats best".

I think it should be an individual choice. Not forced on us by whomever. In my state (Indiana), vehicles licensed as trucks or motorcycles are exempt from seat belt use. Thank god for bikers and farmers!
