I think it will help. But I suppose there will always be new kinds of stupid that we will have to regulate. The stupid is growing faster than we can keep up.

It probably won't happen.Or maybe their wives will nag them until they wear a seat belt?
That probably won't happen either.Or maybe they have money in the bank and will have to pay their way?
Or maybe they'll just file bankruptcy, and then everyone is screwed.Or maybe they have equity in their home and will have to take out a mortgage to pay for their hospital bills?
Because that's how insurance works, such that it is.Why presume that WE must pay for their actions?
There's an old saying...I know you've heard it. You can't fix stupid.

But people's foolishness does not only hurt them. It raises the insurance premiums of people who are less willing to engage in foolishness.
How about people accept responsibility for their own actions?
Act foolish and pay the price.
Act in a responsible fashion and save a bit of coin.
Life insurance premiums are lower for non-smokers who don't ride motorcycles, scuba dive or skydive. Life insurance is more expensive for those who engage in risky behavior.
How about people who don't use seat belts simply pay higher rates for auto insurance? No penalty for those who wear them, no spreading the costs to all. Just individual responsibility and that preserves individual liberty.
I always support liberty.
I may engage in personal responsibility by wearing a seatbelt, but I don't do it because some silly bureaucrat or some do-gooder representative wrote a law that stripped me of my liberty. I wear a seatbelt of my own choice. If I choose not to wear one at some point it will be because I am free to do so and because I exercise my liberty to choose to be foolish. That is my right!

But with stupid often dies its children, or friends, or innocent bystanders. Unfortunate.
In the end the money does benefit the Depts though, since they get their money from those other .gov agencies that are collecting the money.
Because I grew up long ago when we drove little two seat rag top sports cars that were small enough to drive UNDER a semi-trailer. That was back in the day when MGBs, Triumph Spitfires and TR6s were common. I owned or rode in all those vehicles and they are, by todays standards, tiny, low slung death traps. When you look up at the underbelly of a semi-trailer you learn to wear a seatbelt.Why did you start wearing a seatbelt? I started wearing one because I did not want the STATE bothering me with their little enforcers
Really? Please explain to me, logically, how my wearing a seat belt saves the life of a child in my car or the life of an innocent bystander.But with stupid often dies its children, or friends, or innocent bystanders. Unfortunate.

Conversely, how does me not wearing a seatbelt cause a child, friend or bystander to die?
So I don't understand how the seatbelt law affects anyone other them ME.
