SOCIETY creates its own nightmares and YOU ARE SOCIETY. Society took drivers education out of the schools and we have irresponsible, uneducated kids driving a weapon that kills. To them it is just a big toy to push to the limit. They do not have any respect for the vehicle or the people around them. Society said the videos shown in drivers ed were too violent. Now look at the violence on our streets. SOCIETY demands the safety features on a car therefore driving the price of them up. SOCIETY created the lack of respect young people have for anything. SOCIETY created giving all these teenagers rights and privledges WITHOUT TEACHING THEM RESPECT FOR ANYTHING OR ANYONE. That is what has driven up the safety features required and the death toll.
I understand the end results of not wearing a seat belt and the cost when insurance is exhausted. My point was to keep government and law enforcement out of it. I would rather the police spend their time catching the gang bangers and real criminals instead of pulling someone over for not wearing a seat belt. There are bigger battles in society to be fought than ticketing someone for a seat belt.
Slowly but surely SOCIETY is taking away freedoms without really getting to the root of the problem. The problem isn’t the seat belt. I wear mine. I was taught to respect the automobile by my parents and drivers ed. The root of the problem is kids driving cars while they are talking on the phone, eating, drinking, smoking, texting, putting on makeup, etc. and their lack of knowledge and respect for an automobile and what it can really do. The death rate and accident rate have increased because of the inexperienced people behind the wheel not whether or not I wear a seat belt. I choose to wear my seat belt because of them. Tax dollars don’t need to be spent on paying police officers to pull people over for a seat belt. Tax dollars wouldn’t be spent on taking care of someone who had been involved in a serious accident IF WE SPENT OUR TAX DOLLARS EDUCATING YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE WE USED TO. So what the films were violent……..they are meant to be. I have very vivid memories of those films and THANK THE LORD ABOVE, I’ve never had a serious accident because they did scare me into taking my driving privledge very seriously.
I’ve been hit a couple times by the kids not paying attention.
SOCIETY CREATED THIS NIGHTMARE BUT A SEAT BELT LAW IS NOT GOING TO FIX IT AND I STILL WANT MY FREEDOM TO CHOOSE.
Get the law and government out of my business. It should be my personal decision to wear a seat belt or not. It is no one else’s business. period. What happened to America-Land of the Free. I am a grown person at 46 years old and can make my own decisions. I completely understand speeding laws and the such, but, the smoking bans and seat belt laws, etc. are getting to be too much. THE TERM “FREE COUNTRY” IS GETTING TO BE A BIG JOKE.
Why don’t you both buy a 1970’s era car with no seat belts, no air bags & no anit-lock brakes?
One of the reasons we are ALL paying more for cars is that the automakers have had to start building them with all the added safety features to protect YOU, the lowest common denominator. The rest of us were doing just fine with seatbelts. You are the ones that kept the death toll high.
The problem is not if you should be allowed to wear or not wear a seat belt. It is the cost to the states tax payers when someone only makes it half way through the wind shield from not wearing a seat belt, becomes a vegetable , uses up their auto BI or UMBI limits, their 1 mil life time on health insurance and then gets to live off of medicade and social security and disability for the rest of their brain injured lives. Now that becomes a burden and a problem.
That’s right. What we need is a few more nanny state laws. We have so many laws now you can’t step off your front porch without breaking one. I always wear a seat belt but I want it to be my choice. I value personal freedom more than personal safety.

Apparently Michelle & Chris like the thought of being vegetables. Okay, be a rebel without a cause and tell me how that’s working for ya!
Don’t really care if someone wears a seat belt or not….just don’t hit me when you go flying around ’cause you ain’t buckled in.
Besides, some fatalities keep the gene pool cleaner.
