Totally wrong. Why must people wear seat belts today? Because the insurance industry paid off the politicians. That's the bottom line. The insurance industry controls legislation in our country. The insurance industry forced states to lower their blood alcohol level to .08 from whatever it was before, they forced states into mandating helmets for motorcycle riders, and the reason better paying companies drug test is because they get cheaper workman's compensation rates for their employees if there is random testing.
Money is power baby.

I never mentioned insurance companies, looking to reduce their claims and citizen's groups, that true.
On the other side you had car manufacturing lobby fighting back and giving their own $$$ to politicians to prevent the seatbelt, as well as air bag laws from being passed.
A decades old fight for both.
But car companies did offer seatbelts as optional...................for a fee.
It wasn't JUST insurance companies bribery.
