That's right, and since many more people choose to buckle up rather than risk a $100 ticket (because for some people, the risk of death or disfigurement is not enough motivation to wear a seatbelt ), the law is actually saving lives.
And so would a mandatory 2000 calorie maximum intake on your diet save lifes. Thats not the governments job damn it. How come ciggarettes are legal? How about we just make cars illegal. That would save more lifes than anything. As I said its all about money. The insurance companies save money if you dont get killed or injured as bad and the government makes money if you dont wear your seatbelt. As Ive stated many times before freedom is not free. The more free you are the greater the risks and responsibilities you must be willing to accept. As for me give me liberty or give me death.
