>>When you have passengers in the car you are directly responsible for others well being.

They assume the risk, they can choose whether to wear a seatbelt, and I can (and do) insist that they wear a seatbelt. Do you have a point?

>>your comment "depends on the laws" Is hilarious. I guess that means only laws that you yourself agree with or what??

No, it means laws that are constitutional, and affect PUBLIC (not private) safety.

>>You remaining in control of that car insures you are safe to be on the road as it petains to anyone else that is on the roads.

You are really stretching here if you think that my wearing a seatbelt keeps me from flopping about the car, otherwise unable to steer. The absurdity of your implication points out the poverty of your position.

>>It IS the law so is it just a police state if you disagree with the law? Sure seems so.

I guess if one couldn't tell the difference between a principle of liberty and a mere opinion, it would seem so.

your dismissal of that very fact shows the lengths you will strain to avoid reality. Maybe every road where you live in the concrete jungle is perfectly smooth and maybe it doesn't snow there. Maybe you need to expand your perception a bit.

Many people have varying opinions about the principle of liberty.
