Screw seatbelt laws. I’ll be foolish with my own fate, thanks.
I remember growing up before the seatbelt laws. My brothers and I used to ride in the back of my dad’s pickup truck. My dad was career military and thus made several transfers; so we made numerous cross country trips in the bed w/camper shell.
Later when I was a teenager, cars came equipped with the ‘idiot buzzer’ to remind you to wear your seatbelt. We went through various used cars in the late 70’s and early 80’s, and the first thing my dad would do with a ‘new’ vehicle was to disconnect that buzzer.
My how times have changed.
