I’ve never been in a car accident that required a seat belt either. We should remove them all by your logic. Cars have tons of safety regulations built into them and seat belt laws are pervasive. I don’t expect them to relax over time either, cars are much safer than they ever have been and I expect their safety will continue to improve year over year. Can you say the same thing about the bicycle? What safety features do they have? The helmet is the only one I can think of.

Having a seat belt in a car is far less of an inconvenience than carrying around a helmet. If mandatory helmet laws cause people to take a car to the supermarket instead of biking then *more* people will die. Not to mention the immense congestion and destruction of the planet this will cause. > Cars have tons of safety regulations built into them and seat belt laws are pervasive. I don’t expect them to relax over time either, cars are much safer than they ever have been and I expect their safety will continue to improve year over year. Cars have safety features for their passengers - meanwhile they are by far the most lethal mode of transportation worldwide. Should we only care about people inside a car, or should we perhaps start caring about *all people*? > Can you say the same thing about the bicycle? What safety features do they have? The helmet is the only one I can think of. How about not going at very fast speeds? What safety features does "walking" have? Should we now start wearing a helmet while walking?
