While that sounds good in theory, its not sensible. it counteracts your statement about the kids
We've had this issue come up ALL the time on here. and occasionally it has grown to a heated debate.
Some people may think that "well, its my car and my life, I dont have to wear my seatbelt" and thats fine. I hope I never have to see you scraped off the road. or even worse, see the people you killed because you flew around inside the car or were even ejected from the car and struck someone.

Compelling argument and certainly valid. And I agree 100%.
Still don't think the Gov. should have the power to force it.
Again, caviat with children in the car. Other adults have the power to refuse to ride.
Would a Gov. mandate on power to weight ratio save lives? Yes. It absolutley would. If they said it's illegal to have anything lower than, say, 15 lbs per horse power it would save lives by taking all the performance cars off the road (let's face it, performance cars cause problems because of the idiot people who disrespect them)
My example isnt' perfect but my point is made. (I guess, lol)
Again, I am a seatbelt believer 100%.
My State Trooper freind pretty much made me look at some pics that I don't care to remember but can't forget. And it made me an instant seatbelt wearer. Especially since the damage was straight front hit and at a AI estimated 35 mph.
There are a lot of things that are dangerous that are not illegal. (Yet)
I'm getting dangerously political here aren't I.
WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or Big Brother will BF you.
