I agree the law is uncalled for. I have never not worn my seatbelt on the other hand. Just raised that way I guess, but to each his own.

The only person that can possibly be harmed by you not wearing it is you. And don't get me started with the "well, health costs for those injured raise insurance rates for all of us" bullshit. That's the cost of living in a "free" society. Sorry.

Of course the pussyfication of America continues, so we have laws like this.

ETA: Irving has a point about bodies flying around. So I guess it's your choice to ride with someone who does/does not wear a seatbelt. Maybe, if you have kids in the car, it should be required. Maybe.
