--- ""By not wearing one, you increase the odds of losing control of your vehicle in a collision and infrigning upon the liberties of others in a secondary collision."

I guess this is true to an extent, but really hard to measure. You are going to sit here and definitively tell me what level of control a person would have over a vehicle after it has just been in a collision, seat belt or not? Sounds impossible. With all of the different variables, you could only assume that maybe a person would have had more control over a vehicle if they had a seat belt on. And that would only be on certain types of accidents.

And Tag Your It, that was a real touching story, but I still think 100% of the blame in that instance lies with the person that started the accident. There is no difference in using the logic that "if you had used your seat belt those kids would be alive" than "if the moron wouldn't have hit me those kids would still be alive". Well, I guess the difference is, if you had your seat belt on, MAYBE you would be able to keep control. If the guy never hits you, then all of it never even happened in the first place. Maybe you should be preaching safe driving instead.

Of course, I am not saying you shouldn't wear a seat belt, you certainly should. My big issue is that it's a law, and it shouldn't be.
