    Why is money more important than life?

    Here in WA state, it's a $110 fine if you get caught without a seatbelt on.

    Why does the threat of a $110 fine scare people more than dying or getting seriously hurt?

    Same thing goes for helmet laws.

    Kind of odd don't you think? Lose my life, awwww I'll risk it... $110???? Fuck that shit, I better put this thing on.

              people probably think the risk of beight caught without the seatbets is far bigger than getting in an accident

                      Back in the old days, we just didn't LIKE them. Seatbelts were a nuisance.
                      Sleep well, and dream of large women.

                              i've always worn my seatbelt and always will. The thought of rocketing threw my windshield at 60mph doesn't really sound to fun...

                                  But don't you think it's sad that people have to be threatened with a fine to make themselves safer? Specially with something so simple as putting on a seat belt?

                                  I say, let the idiots do what they want, will help weed out stupidity from the human race when they get themselves killed.

                                          Ok, so I guess I should be asking you then. Is your life not important to you?

                                                      If it's really an issue of life vs money, why don't you buy a helmet and use it while riding in a car? or why even stop there, if you wear a helmet all the time, chances of getting your head injured by slipping for example will be reduced greatly

I guess people have a hard time realizing what 'could' happen to them or their loved ones until it DOES happen.

                                                                                      I'll even answer your statements.

Motorcycle cops love to drive thru slow traffic and spot people not wearing them. Most seat belt tickets are given at this time.

                                                                                      B. You watch too much tv.

I can see how wearing a belt can keep you in your seat and in better control of the car in a small accident or spin out. so that would make sense because it could keep others from being hit. I don't agree with motorcycle helmet law. I think that's a personal choice and it takes away from the feeling of freedom. If you wreck with a bike with or without a helmet it isn't going to effect anyone but you and your family. the Government should not have the right to make me protect myself. They don't make rock climbers or people on bikes over 16 (in most states) wear one. it's a choice

I don't agree with motorcycle helmet law. I think that's a personal choice and it takes away from the feeling of freedom. If you wreck with a bike with or without a helmet it isn't going to effect anyone but you and your family. the Government should not have the right to make me protect myself. They don't make rock climbers or people on bikes over 16 (in most states) wear one. it's a choice
                                                                                                      The effects to other people come up when those riding without a helmet also do not have insurance or enough insurance to cover their medical costs when they do not die instantly from the crash. Same thing goes with seat belts, the severity of ones injuries are typically reduced or removed when wearing one and thus less medical costs.

                                                                                                      While I may not agree with the laws and feel there are other alternatives to them. I can see the reasoning behind them. Personally I will not even start a vehicle or wait for someone else to start it before I put a seat belt on though and it has nothing at all to do with any potential fine. This goes even if I only plan to back the car out of the drive way into the street and turn it around to pull in a different direction.

It's either I have fun/this is my life or I die. Some people don't think about getting so fucked over and they don't die, hospital bills, not being able to work, being disfigured or paralyzed, loseing limbs...these are things that happen to other people not me. Once they get a bill for something then it's different

If you don't want to wear them, fine. You're only contributing to your own demise, which should be your right in my opinion.

                                                                                                                                      I say, let the idiots do what they want, will help weed out stupidity from the human race when they get themselves killed.

If you can't see the value of not bouncing out through the windshield and onto the pavement then you deserve what you get. Personally I think you shouldn't get dinged for that or not wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle. At the same time though, if you fuck up and wind up in the hospital 'cause you weren't strapped in or crack your nut when you dumb your bike without a helmet, the state (ie. me) shouldn't have to pay for it.
