Why are there no anti-seatbelt groups?

There is a group for almost everyone.

For or against whatever. But there are not groups trying to strike down the evasive seatbelt laws.

I don't know anyone who wears a seatbelt.

I was never required as a kid. I never wear them now as an adult. And it's my choice.

Where are the anti-seatbelt crusaders? Who will protect us from our protectors?

I do wear a seatbelt, but I think you should be able not to wear one if it's your choice.

Helmet laws should mirror seatbelt laws.... I believe it should be a choice

The "mother knows best" culture this country is drowning into is killing individual freedom.

I can smoke, drink, have unprotected sex, but I have to wear my seatbelt? Give me a break!

Do us all a favor, go have a wreck while not wearing a seatbelt.
BTW, you are right, it is a choice for you not to wear a seatbelt, however, there are laws in most places that force you to wear em.
So you have your choice, wear a piece of saftey equipment that you probably should be wearing anyways, or get fined for not wearing it.

Why? Seriously. This "perceived" danger of not wearing a seatbelt is nonesense. It's all scare tactics.

QFT. Saved my life 4 times now...

I was only driving ONCE, you creeps! :) And I was hit by a drunk driver... He WASN'T wearing a seatbelt...

Does anyone have a good reason why you WOULDN'T wear a seatbelt?


Long ago, a standup comedian, I forget who, said "If you try to start your car, and you don't have your seatbelt on, the chair oughta spring up and give you a little taste of what that windshield tastes like..." :D

If I ever get fined for not wearing a seatbelt, I'll take it to the Supreme Court!

It's unjust to tell me what I should and shouldn't be doing in my own car.

Please tell that to my aunt who died in a car wreck simply because she wasn't wearing a seatbelt. :|

Now kindly STFU.

You can't smoke in hospitals.
You can't drink in public, DUI.
You can't have sex in public.

Even though you can only hurt yourself by driving with no seatbeat; those other items are not entirely legal either.

You shouldn't wear it because you're only giving into what the government wants.

If you spend your life doing what people tell you, you'll get stomped on, especially by the government and nosey people trying to take away your personal freedom.

Exercise saves lives. Should we FORCE people to exercise?

QFT, people who adamantly refuse to wear seatbelts never cease to amuse me. Get in a crash without one, say hi to the windshield for me :p

Yeah. Like we should be able to drink and drive. Or drive at whatever speed we like, or let a 3 yo kid drive.
Oh wait, those things are all illegal too.

Stats, experiments, research papers, any evidence of that at all? Didn't think so.

You should, of course, be free not to wear one if you don't want to, but what about others who might actually believe you? What if a child heard what you said, didn't wear a seatbelt, and went through the front window of a car - how would you feel?
