Seatbelts actually make people better drivers. An individual is better able to control his vehicle when he's not swaying and being pushed about his seat with the acceleration, or turning of the Vehicle. Ineritia
So there are less accidents

yaaa. but what about when you go tru da ice while
fishin for da carp? (sarcasm)

They can't (yet) pull you over for no seat belt in MN, but
seeing how the feds will withhold highway funding if states
don't play ball, it's only a matter of time. Besides, any cop with a year on the force can figure out another reason/ excuse to pull you over to justify cause.

While I agree with the points made in your post, I do not agree that the government should, in essence, put a GUN to your head to force you to wear one.

Just as JHVH supposedly left us the free will to "sin", so should our government honor our Right to be Free, but stupid.

Amazing!

"Seatbelts actually make people better drivers."

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety." Benjamin Franklin - 1759

The closest covenant I could find in the Wisconsin State Constitution that could be used to declare the state seat belt law unconstitutional is:

Equality; inherent rights.

SECTION 1. [As amended Nov. 1982 and April 1986]

All people are born equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights; among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; to secure these rights, governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. [1979 J.R. 36, 1981 J.R. 29, vote Nov. 1982; 1983 J.R. 40, 1985 J.R. 21, vote April 1986]

The "inherent right...liberty" would imply each person shall decide whether to wear a seat belt or not.

The constitutional basis for stopping the federales at their blackmail maneuver is Amendment IX:

The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights SHALL NOT be construed to DENY OR DISPARAGE others (rights) retained by the people.

The people have the retained right to decide to wear a seat belt or not.

You don't really believe that, do you? If your car is swaying and pushing you to the extent you describe, I would consult a mechanic post haste.

The motions you describe are more akin to what happens in a military jet.

Hey how about a driving without both hands on the wheel violation? Having both hands on the wheel prevents the wheel from slipping from your grasp. It makes you a better driver. And clean hands are even better. Perhaps the government would be well suited to mandate my sleeping hours. You know, tired eyes means fiery head-on collisions into oncoming traffic. Have you noticed how some cars really need to clean the windshield.

I'll be all for this after they take out the cup holders, stereos, and dvd movie players, ban cell phones, and develop a rearview mirror that prevent using it to apply makeup. Then I will go down to the market place and get that number tattooed on my forehead so I may barter...because I will know that all hope for mankind was lost. After that perhaps we can all agree to slow down 20 or 30 MPH on the highways so we can all be safer and enjoy the road together
