This is another attempt to hoodwink the public with the lie that it'll only be used on suspected drunken drivers. YEA, RIGHT!
Once instituted, the feds will have the ability to shut down your vehicle for any reason it deems a violation.
Using too much gas and driving too far? Shut it down.
Driving to a Trump rally? Shut it down.
Didn't pay for this years registration? Shut it down.
Don't have insurance? Shut it down.
And on and on it goes.
Give them an inch and they'll always take a mile!

EXACTLY!!! Within about 5 years in Illinois, it was a primary offense and my ex wife was even pulled over once before that and ordered to put it on.
I still dont wear my seatbelt when I'm on my time. Sure, I pull it over my shoulder when the cops are around. I even keep it partially inserted in the buckle if I think I might be pulled over so I can click it if need be. My friends have given me grief about this for 30 years or more. I usually hear " wouldnt it be easier to just wear it?" LOL! Others have told me much much worse.
I wear it at the race track and I wear it when I'm driving on company time.
