And since it's a privilege to drive a car on a public road, then you are required to abide by the laws set forth by the public road's owners/operators (i.e. state government) to be allowed to use that road.
So please, tell me again how you have the freedom to drive your car however you want  |
How you drive your car, and what you're wearing while doing so are two completely different things. You seem to be purposely trying to miss that point.
You've lost your freedom when you think it's ok for government to pass laws to protect you from yourself. Once people accept the premise, then it's only a matter of degree.
By the way, the OP's commercial is one of the best I've ever seen. I'm an advocate of seatbelts, just not a law forcing adults to wear them.
