I don't care if someone wears a seat belt (or other safety gear). As soon as it stops costing me money (uninsured motorist insurance and catastrophic claim insurance) then they could ditch all the laws.
When insurance is mandatory and there is no opt out on catastrophic claim, etc then a mandatory safety equipment law is pretty much required.
I investigate accidents as part of my regular job so I get plenty of opportunity to see how the equipment works. I couldn't count the number of people that I have personally seen who are still around because of belts and air bags on several sets of hands.
