People are stupid, why the hell don't there where seatbelts, heres something to think about...

80% of traffic fatalities occur within 25 miles of home and under 40 miles an hour, less then 20% of the people that died where actually wearing seatbelts, NHTSA estimates that half of the fatalities that where not wearing seatbelts could have been saved if seat belt had been in use.

I also think that more states should push laws like NY preventing people from talking on there cellphones while driving. I know some people can actually talk on there phone and drive at the same time but some people are just complete ASSHOLES

Heres an excerpt from some website...

Seat belts are the most effective safety devices in vehicles today, estimated to save 9,500 lives each year. Yet only 68 percent of the motor vehicle occupants are buckled. In 1996, more than 60 percent of the occupants killed in fatal crashes were unrestrained.

If 90 percent of Americans buckle up, we will prevent more than 5,500 deaths and 132,000 injuries annually.

The cost of unbuckled drivers and passengers goes beyond those killed and the loss to their families. We all pay for those who don't buckle up ­ in higher taxes, higher health care and higher insurance costs.

On average, inpatient hospital care costs for an unbelted crash victim are 50 percent higher than those for a belted crash victim. Society bears 85 percent of those costs, not the individuals involved. Every American pays about $580 a year toward the cost of crashes. If everyone buckled up, this figure would drop significantly.

By reaching the goal of 90 percent seat belt use, and 25 percent reduction in child fatalities by the year 2005, we will save $8.8 billion annually.
