    No, but I do not see the comparison. Help me out!

    No, I use the belt for MY safety; the safety of others is a side benefit.
    The law mandates it’s use for OTHERS safety; MY safety is a side benefit

    Hope this clears up my position on this topic. I am NOT in favor of gov’t PROTECTING ME against myself via legislation

    How does you wearing a seat belt make others safe?

    Because, some event (getting hit by another driver, for example) you could be knock unconscious or be thrown from you vehicle - then other in your vehicle could be seriously injured - and/or you driver-less vehicle could hit another vehicle.

    Here in NY, they just announced enforcing seatbelts for rear seats. I agree with the point that they could trap you in a burning or crushed car. Lawmakers often never think of all sides of things; just as long as it sounds "safer". It has me wondering why this, now, with everything else going on. I've heard it suggested it's a way for the state to raise money through the $50 fines!.

    Eric - that was the same reason why NY passed the Assessment fee - just extra money.

    Now, I will mention this - that a car on fire or being submerge - only accounts for about 1/2 of one % of all traffic deaths -

    BTW where abouts in the Empire state are you?

    NYC. (Wonder if @annsni is still around. I know she was from Long Island).

    (Never heard of Assessment Fee. Just looking it up, it seems to have to do with home ownership. I don't own, so I wouldn't know about that).

    If you assess 6 traffic points -- you will owe an additional 100 dollars per year for 3 years and for - each additional point -add another 50 dollars per year for 3 years. (in addition to any fine and surcharge)

    This started back about the year 2005 or so.

    I might be just a bit of - but ass we like to say - "Close enough for govt work"
