Where are you getting the BS idea that the state has the right to tell me Im not allowed to smash MY face into MY windshield? Again I think wearing seatbelts is a solid idea and a good practice. The issue is the state in this instance much like this stupid vaccine bull shit needs to stop treating everyone like they are 3 y/o's. Give me the info and let me decide. If I make a bad decision I'll pay the price. Simple. No law needs to be passed. No enforcement agency need be bothered or expensed to make sure Im following a law that doesnt need to exist etc.
I'd be happy if insurance companies either charged huge premiums for people who didnt want to wear a seatbelt or were able to void their coverage if they dont. Why does the state need to be involved?
If we are just going to pass laws based on safety then we should outlaw, booze, smokes, ho ho's etc. Those items are far more damaging to the user and those around them than not using a seatbelt.
