Alcohol prohibition was repealed in large part because juries stopped convicting bootleggers for just possession and sale. If juries stopped convicting on seatbelt laws, etc. they would soon be repealed.

Unfortunately not, since the state can make it so that it costs more to contest a fine and win than it would have cost to simply pay it.
