Where I come from, people did not have the habit of wearing seat belts, even though, at the time, it was proven to help in case of accidents. The media was all over it but people still not wore them. Government then decided to make it a law to wear it and those not wearing would be fined. The law was really enforced and, eventually, everyone was wearing it and it’s a no brainer today.
If not for the law and the fines, the behavior of not wearing it wouldn’t have changed or, if it did, it would take much longer.

- random42_ 5y agoIn that case I think enforcing it was necessary to break the status quo. If it should no longer be a law and let people decide is up to each one’s personal opinions. Myself, I think if someone wants to take risk and maybe get killed there are more efficient ways of doing it and in a way that wouldn’t potentially cause damage to others.
