Kind of the same as seatbelt laws I think. If I don't wear a seatbelt (Note: I always do, because it's a useful and proven safety feature), would it affect anyone else? Is my windshield crack affecting anyone else or endangering the public?
If you're an illegal alien with 12 kids in the car, all without seatbelts, and you smash into the Taco Bell, and all your kids hit the windshield, and the windshield breaks, and half your kids smash into the side of the Taco Bell, who's gonna pay for their ER bill?
