I know that is the saying, and in some cases reality, but in many states it is legal to drive a motorcycle without a helmet, or leathers, or biker boots, or gloves. I can ride my ATV's anywhere and everywhere (except the 100+ year old dirt roads they blocked off to save the environment) without a helmet.
Does the government really care or is it insurance companies and lawyers that mandate seatbelt use?
18 years as a cop and I never dealt with a fatal accident where the deceased was not wearing a seatbelt. I have dealt with a few fatal accidents where the seatbelt held the person in the seat that was completely crushed. There is no way of knowing for sure but if they were not strapped into the seat that was crushed they might have been pushed to the open area in the middle and had less injuries. I am NOT saying they wont help save a life but I have doubts about the hype.
Is it just me or is this "wireless" seatbelt about the size to pop the top on a beer bottle? I love my 2 old vehicles with the bottle opener seatbelt.
