Seat Belt Laws

[scooterfanatic]

Not wearing a helmet or a seatbelt doesn't affect the safety of other drivers on the road, both should be optional under the law.

Not always true. Without a seatbelt, that driver risks being moved out of the driver's position, the only place he/she can attempt to regain control of the vehicle. Without someone controlling the vehicle, it's entirely possible that the car can go up on a sidewalk and hit someone, go through a storefront, strike another car, or just sit in the middle of the intersection. Keeping the driver in the driver's position is absolutely necessary for the safety of others.

Never thought of it like that.
