Is this an American thing? How can anyone think a law requiring seatbelts is restricting your rights. I also get the impression from comments in this thread that there are people who don't want to wear them. Why?
- epmatsw 12y agoMe: "I don't want to do this." Government: "Do it, or get punished." A lot of people are uncomfortable with that interaction, especially when there's no perceived benefit. In the case of seatbelts, a lot of people (particularly women due to different body shapes) find them very uncomfortable. Which is a dumb reason to not wear one, but eh.
