Beef Jerky Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Some thoughts on seat belts semi related to this post: I completely agree that seat belts the vast majority of the time save lives and prevent more serious injuries. I also acknowledge there should be laws about children wearing them. What I can't understand is why there are laws compelling adults to wear them. I understand that most people should wear them, however, it seems most adults should have the choice to wear them. If I want to run the risk of being ejected from my car I think I should be able to. I don't know of any cases where a body was ejected from the car and it ended up hitting and hurting others. It seems to me that if you are forced to wear a seatbelt because it is preventing potential self harm then we might as well ban motorcycles as well. Going down this line of thought we should ban alcohol, cheeseburgers, ATV's bicycles etc etc etc.... Just my random thoughts here. I am going to sound like some weird anti-govenrment wacko but personal choice should play a factor on what risks you want to take. You body becomes a projectile risking injury to someone else. You don't have to wear a seatbelt if you can pay the tickets. If you want to be smart though just put it on. Edited July 14, 2016 by Beef Jerky
