Quote:Agreed, I'm just pointing out the absurdity of legislating responsibility. Seat belt laws are just revenue streams on the public, click it or ticket might as well be a fund raiser for the local county.


Here mr jones enjoy your new car we built to go 140 mph but hot damn wear that seat belt or we're going to fine you! Cause government cares about you America!

 

And oh how you'd yell about government interference if they did mandate speed governors on cars.  It really sounds like you just get pissy if the government does anything at all to keep people safe. Seat belt laws save lives and the government has a responsibility to enact safety rules on public roads. They've saved mine as a guy who refused to wear one until they mandated it. It's a good thing I didn't roll my car on Normandy Blvd until AFTER the law took effect because I probably wouldn't be here to irritate all you good folks otherwise. Once you're sitting on the interior ceiling of your car and look up to see your children hanging from their seatbelts you get a new appreciation for the value of those things and recognize what they do for the public welfare.
