Safety vs Freedom: Should Adults be Forced to Wear Seatbelts?

[Xiahou]

The science is proven, the math has been worked out, the tests have been numberless since the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety was formed. It saves lives period.

And is that a good metric to use when determining whether or not to mandate something?

Can make a case out of everything, how much does it cost society if you insist on headbutting your windscreen, at least 50k if you did it right aka not dying all that drastically . Some control is good if people are that daft.

I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about getting your science right and your facts straight about a method of "oppression" before you derail it. Idk why you are asking me this question anyway, since CR incorporated it into the discussion in the first place by talking about preventing injuries.
