> All im saying is that an adult should be able to choose to wear a seatbelt or not in their own vehicle.

Millions of deaths and injuries avoided as a result of seatbelts obligatory in many countries around the world do not share your world view.

So, you dont care about children on schoolbusses? None of them have seatbelts.

And motorcycles are explicitly allowed, and have no restraints or harnesses. Mopeds, same. Scooters, same. Bicycles, same.

Adults *should* have the right to do risky behaviors that increases the risk of bodily injury. But no matter the link you put forth, doesnt explain why fucking schoolbusses that transport years 6-18 dont have seatbelts.


You seem like a very angry individual based on how you respond to very normal dialogue here. I suggest therapy.

Secondly, seatbelts are not just about you, genius. If you are thrown from a car you could hit something or someone else, endangering others. Thus, seatbelts are not only for your safety, but for others as well.

Please take a few breaths and go outside.
