Should be "purpose of seat belt *laws*"


Purpose of seat is pretty self-evident.

Agreed. The right thing to do would be if the car companies took it upon themselves to make vehicles that won't operate without the seat belt engaged. Then people would have to pay with their wallet for being stupid because insurance likely wouldn't cover you if you did a work around to stock safety equipment.

I would say that because of seat belt laws, their use has become far more common. Lots of laws are bad laws, this one isn't terrible, especially for drivers that are underage (and typically even dumber than adults)

I make passengers in my vehicles wear their seat belts. One guy said he was fine with it if we got in an accident. I told him I didn't want his 200 lb carcass smashing into me multiple times if we rolled it over.

I’m fine with not having seatbelt laws so long as first responders note who wasn’t wearing one and people who weren’t wearing belts aren’t treated or transported until they prove their ability to pay for the treatment.

I'd be dead if it weren't for a seatbelt, but yeah it shouldn't be law.  If you want to play the odds and more likely die, great!  And of course getting ticketed from a bike cop for this just adds irony.   Now litterers, why don't we generate $ off these filthy heathens?

People not wearing their seatbelt can hurt me and my family.

Public service is required to respond to mva with injuries. These are undeniably higher when people dont wear restraints.

I will trade seatbelt laws if that means public service doesnt have to render aid to those injured not wearing one.

If all traffic infractions were changed where there is no monetary fine, instead jail time or community service were the only fine possible, would the frequency in traffic stops change?

It would be interesting to find out.

We sure have a butt load of laws in this 'free' country.

Seat belt laws are the biggest crock of shit ever. All they are are another excuse for you to get pulled over to see if they can catch you with anything else. States that don't require a helmet to ride a motorcycle but require a seat belt to ride in a vehicle. Yeah. They really care about our safety.


And no, I haven't gotten a seat belt ticket. I wear mine, just pisses me off the bull shit that gets passed to make the cities/states more money.

You are an idiot if you dont use a seatbelt. I am sure plenty of 1st responders will vouch for this.

I'm sure you understand this proves absolutely nothing, because on the large scale seatbelts save more lives than they take. Whether or not there should be a law about it is a different subject.

I tend to think that as long as first responders are paid with tax money I don't really want my taxes spent saving your dumb ass for not wearing a seatbelt... I hate nanny state bullshit, but at the same time you're retarded if you don't wear a seatbelt.

Same here.

I drive a 6000 lbs four-wheeled vehicle, surrounded by instantaneousy inflated airbags and I have to wear a fucking strap BY LAW, yet someone riding a 2-wheeled, less than 1000 lbs vehicle can do so in shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops and NO HELMET.

Helmets have been as proven to save lives as a seat belt, yet NOT all states mandate wearing them, yet EVERY state mandates using and wearing a fucking seat belt or you get a- very costly- ticket.

nails it.  

The number of people I have to TELL (not ask) to put their seatbelts on in my vehicle is amazing.  Im talking grown 40, 50 year old men who should know better.  They are more than welcome to do what they want in their vehicle, but my vehicle my rules and I don't want to have someones death or disability weighing on me if I were to get into an accident.

You should be free to wheelie your Hayabusa all the way to the Circle K, buck naked past the police without getting a second glance if you aren't hazarding other people.


I buckle my seatbelt in the driveway and won't wear anything less than a full face helmet on my bikes.


If an idea is actually a good idea, it doesn't need to be mandatory.
