bad habits turn into bad things

And Biker, forget the 70s logic. I am only hurting me by not wearing a seatbelt. You cannot legislate personal choice. There can only be a crime if there's a victim. Who is the victim when I don't wear a seatbelt.

Where there is a problem is. Very quickly what just affects you, stops just affecting you. Say you have kids or even a loved one in the car with you. You dont wear a seat belt but you'll make your kids put one on? Or how about you get in a car crash a die, but if you had a seat belt on you'd have lived? What impact will that have on the people in this world that care about you?

Its been proven (at work so i dont have time to look it up) that even people in the back seats of yoru car can kill someone in teh front seat wearing a sealt belt if they dont buckle up.

i'm not sure how many car crashes you've been in but every single one I've been in has been better off because of the belts worn. My gf was stupid enough not to wear a belt and she's got a nice mark on her leg that she'll never get rid of because of that choice.

Arguing if seat belts work or not is silly because they have been proven to work. Heaven forbid the gov't try to save a few 1000 lives a year through a program that encourages seatbelts.

GT- man you must be real backwards, thought police no, but from the sounds of what comes out of your mouth I can understand why you'd see me as that. However you've got it confused with sound logic. Cheers
