Putting on a seat belt is really not that hard. I am a convert to buckling up. I never thought much about it until a co-worker of mine ended up just about going completely through a windshield in an accident, at least his face and shoulders did. He was told by his doctors that he came very close to bleeding to death. His face is now partially paralyzed and can hardly smile because of muscle and nerve damage. If he had been buckled up, more than likely he would have walked away from the accident unharmed. After watching him go through everything he did, I now buckle up on a regular basis. It is almost a reflex to reach for the belt when I get in the car. Should it be mandated by the federal government ? I don`t know. I buckle up now so it is not much of an issue with me. But I did not like this line : "and b) not achieving a 90 percent compliance rate within three years of passage." This was an eye catcher for sure !!!

Should it be mandated by the federal government ? I don`t know. You don't know? You think "maybe"?
Government in our country was instituted to secure the individual liberties of a free, self-governing people.
Not to be some brainless, all-controlling army of morons sucking on the taxpayer tit.
