Let's compare the societal costs imposed by seatbeltless driving, and, say...illegal immigration, Why?
"Societal costs" are not the yardstick by which a free people decide if rights are to be suspended.

Societal costs are usually not a problem when government does not force individuals to bear the private costs of the bad decisions of others.

I agree. I'm just pointing out that singling out seatbelt usage is inconsistent.
