Seatbelts are mandatory here; it doesn't feel like I'm living in a dictatorship. Then again, maybe I'm used to being oppressed by the evil government that forces me to wear a seatbelt so that I don't even realise how much freedom this law takes away from me. I probably don't even know how much joy and real freedom driving my car on the highway without wearing a seatbelt gives me. I've never felt that satisfaction and I'll never experience the freedom of flying through the front window of my car. Evil Belgian dictators
Meh, if seatbelts are not mandatory for the sake of freedom then the free insurance companies should not cover the damages suffered by the occasional moron who refuses to put on his seatbelt. I hope he has fun paying for the cost of his handicap with his own means. The occasional moron will love to see how his loved ones will have to work their butts off to pay for his lack of responsiblity, all for the sake of freedom (tm). At least he experienced flying through the front window of his car. What a lucky moron he is.
Imo, a government has a responsiblity towards its' citizens. If there are enough people stupid enough not to wear their seatbelts, then make it mandatory, to protect them against their own stupidity. It's not that intrusive really. It's an action that takes less than a second. I also fail to see how it limits your freedom. You can still drive your care, right? I don't notice any difference between driving with or without seatbelt, so why should you make a fuss about something as trivial as that. Having to put on your seatbelt doesn't have any effect whatsoever on your freedom (tm).
There are better cases to fight for your precious freedom.
And before you go all "but where do you draw the line" on me, the answer is simple: not here.

Honestly, if you don't want to wear your seat belt, then don't.
Then, when you get pulled over by the police, pay your fine of $25 or whatever it is these days and where ever you are.
Just consider it the fee you pay towards the future clean up bill when they have spray down the road and pick up your little scull fragments after you fly out your windshield and skip along the pavement.
