I agree, it should be the persons decision.

I think it's good and bad that the U.S. Government makes laws like that.
I mean, at least they show an effort to make us believe that they care about our lives when the reality they care about money.
It's just funny, that the U.S. is the only country that has these laws. Other countries just let the people think for themselves. Then again, other countries have bigger things to worry about than seatbelts.
Also, I think that if they didn't have these lawss people would sue certain companies cause "they didn't know better".
In other words, the government is covering all their (and motor companies) bases.


In Florida a cop can't pull you over for you seatbelt but can give you a ticket(and will) on top of whatever the cop pulled you over for.
