re: How do you feel about seat belt laws?

Tort is the problem.

Government overreach? Possibly and probably but if any attorney can and will bring forth a suit against whomever,vehicle manufacturer, municipality, state, other driver, some swinging dick who makes a comment on a message board about how it shouldn't be a law , than it needs to be a mandatory law.

Now you take away the liability of others for anyone not wearing a seatbelt to litigate and hold others responsible - then be my guest and not wear it. fricking ride on the hood for all I care. But when that tempered glass meets your melon and you end up spending the rest of your cucumber life hiding your own Easter eggs you better have parked enough cash away to feed you through a tube. Because I'll buy you one McDonalds milkshake and then pull the plug and bid you good riddance.

And a hot tip-spend a few moments on the Food board and you will realize just how often the McDonalds milkshake machine are off line. Just might make you buckle up.
