If you don't usually wear your seat belt, are you going to today?

Since insurance companies write many of the "laws", we can expect to be hassled, over victim-less crimes.
The public policy statutes that deal with safety belts are geared only toward protecting the insurance companies, although the purported reason is to "save lives."
Of course the real aim is not to "save lives", but reduce the insurance companies' claims payouts.
Cracking down on people for victim-less crimes is more evidence that we are not ruled by law, but equity and admiralty (law of the high seas, under which insurance companies operate), in which there need not be an injured party involved, for one to violate a statute.

If you can guarantee that my tax or insurance dollars won't go to pay to put you back together or support your family after you splatter your brains all over a tree, dump the belt if you wish. Personally I think anyone who doesn't wear one is a selfish moron, but that's only my opinion.
And having nearly been killed by a moron (who did kill himself and left a wife and 4 kids behind with no life insurance) who lost control of his pickup BECAUSE he wasn't buckled in in the first place, not wearing one is NOT a "victimless crime" as some fools would have you believe.

I really can't understand anyone that doesn't wear their seat belt. If I don't wear mine, I feel naked. Not too mention absolutely unsafe.

I have been wearing my seatbelt for the last 20 years and it's just 2nd nature to buckle it now.

It doesn't start today, it starts tomorrow and runs through June 2nd.
