I haven't read everything... but...

Seatbelts do infact save lives... it's one in a million that not having it saves your life... And to point out how crappy that logic is... Being COMPLETELY plastered drunk in an accident ups you survivablity DRASTICALLY... there are lots of ways... but that doesn't make driving around drunk as all hell a good idea.

If that story posted up here about the ONE girl who survived that accident in a honda with 3 other passengers all dying instantly... she was the ONLY one with a seatbelt on...

I didn't wear one for the longest time... but I ALWAYS do now...

As for the helmet comment on page 1... There ARE helmet laws and bikers DO get pulled over constantly for it. It depends on state law and area's commitment to enforcing it... much like the seatbelt thing.

They're doing if for your own good whether you like it or not... that is kinda anti-american IMO but... no one else wants to watch you die in an accident... not the other people envolved (if any) nor the cops/FD/paramedics cleaning up afterwards... it's a stressful enough job without cleaning up dead people who would've been fine if they just buckled up.
