I agree with you 110%.

I've worn a seat belt since 1969. When I opened up the Firebird to 140mph - I just felt the need to be belted! But I don't see the need for a law and fines!

exactly!!
i just got rid of an iroc-z28 camaro.that thing was a magnet for cops looking to mess with me.had it a few years.loved that car.

they dont have seat belts on school buses..and anyone at least 21 and over should have a right to choose for themselves..it's all about the money

It's part of federal legislation that in order for states to receive highway $$$$ states have to enforce seat belt laws.

a young lady in a ford explorer died the other day here . ejected from vehicle - no seat belt on. some laws are good.

i agree the seat belt is good and does save lives.my best friend is a cop to the north of me here in a small town.but they will make millions this coming holiday weekend on the tickets for seat belts.

emily,

Yes it is sad if a seat belt could have saved her life. Having the law didn't make any difference to her.   Understand I wore my seat belt voluntarily since 1969. Nothing prevents a person from wearing it. The point is, I don't want the Government ordering me to wear it and ticketing me. The less Government, the better.

between them trying to outlaw gambling online and everything else maybe they can babysit my kids this weekend,lol.

seat belts do save lives ,but they also cause death too

there are rare instances where you could be trapped by the seat belt.its rare but it has happened.

a true law renegade doesn't care about anyone or anything....not their own kids, their own lives or ANYTHING........Until they have to pay out of their pockets for it a few times. There may be hard nuts to crack, but enough tickets, they change their minds. I hate to see these little moms who run around high as can be with their kids jumping all over the car. Usually, that is the same woman I have to dodge on the road just to make it from point A to point B.
