Police say 40 percent of drivers don't use their seat belts at night, making the roads much more dangerous after sunset.

Huh??? I'd love to hear them explain how non-belted drivers make the roads more dangerous!

..making the roads much more dangerous after sunset.

Are the roads more dangerous, or is it just more dangerous for the drivers not wearing seat belts? I don't think the roads are any more dangerous because the other guy is not wearing his seat belt.

Genius! Did they ever think DARK might have something to do with it?

The only solution is to ban night time driving.

HOw are the roads less safe when fewer people are wearing seatbelts. There might be an increase in the chance of injury in an accident for those who don't wear seatbelts, but that does not mean the roads are less safe. If you are driving at night and wearing your seatbelt is the road less safe because folks in other cars are nor? There was a study done a few years back that showed that people who have air bags in their car are not as cautious as those that do not. Why? Beacuse with the extra safety device people think they are more protected and do not exercise the care in driving that they would without the air bags.

How does my not wearing a seatbelt (assuming I don't) make the roads less safe?
