Knew a "No seat belt" guy he always said " Without one, you might be thrown clear safely"!
He was thrown clear, through his windshield, meeting a concrete abutment at 65 MPH

Difference is coats protect the wearer, not those around them. The selfishness of people has been truly disheartening through all of this.

Sierra Nevadan here. I totally agree 30 is no big deal, its the wind that'll make your nipples cut like diamonds.

If I know how long I'm going to be out, I just keep telling myself that it's not going to kill me, it's just uncomfortable for now.

But not where most of the population of the world is.
Oh yeah? Where is that?

That's because most of the world uses a sensible measurement system for temperature ;)
I believe they mean 30 degrees freedom
I think you’re on to something

Agreed. 30 degrees is sweatshirt weather at most.

Don’t even get me started about how getting us all to wear seat belts is just a trial run to see what else they can control us into doing.
Becker37
I say unless the are minors let people make their own choices as long as it doesn't hurt someone else. Same with helmets. Thin the herd
Chuckinsky
God I hate this "thin the herd" bullshit. I say we should simply fucking listen to people that know better.
If you don't know that a helmet or seatbelt is in your best interest then you really shouldn't be allowed to breed. Idiocracy people
Guess what, they DO breed. Are you fostering/adopting all the orphans of dead parents due to crashes? Do you cover the medical costs? 1/
I'm a voluntary fire fighter. Do YOU fucking cut a corpse out of a car that wound around the steering collum? BECAUSE I FUCKING HAD TO. 2/2

I watched a movie from the 70s yesterday and could not get used to the lack of seatbelts.

I hate it when people try and force me to respect the laws of physics

I raised this argument today... They said there was a study that ppl not wearing seatbelts drove slower.... Because they felt more at risk..
Therefore safer... Just let ppl police themselves... Nothing bad will happen.... /s

I remember in the 1980s my dad griping that the reason for outlawing leaded gasoline was just a conspiracy to force us all to buy new cars.

There is evidence that moving to unleaded gasoline is the reason for the crime drop in the 90s

Seat belt laws are criminal. 350 bucks for not wearing my seat belt? Miss me with that bullshit
electronicbovine
Part of me agrees because I'd hate to see this line of reasoning applied to make motorcycles/scooters illegal...
Although, long term, in future we'll maybe see automated traffic coordination systems in cities, and driving itself would not be possible.
