I think that anyone that wants to drive without a seatbelt should have that right. However, I also think that your insurance company should have the right to refuse to pay for your injuries if you do not have a seatbelt on (or change an extra "non-seatbelt" fee for coverage). Same goes with motorcycle helmets -- any head injury that could have been avoided by wearing a helmet shouldn't be covered if you don't have a helmet on.

I can't agree with that as long as the majority of states MANDATE insurance coverage. It would work if insurance was optional, but as long as I have to pay for it........

Liability Insurance is mandated to prevent scumbags from riding around, hitting someone and leaving a responsible person to pay the bills. Personal Injury Protection is the insurance I am talking about (or the other person's liability insurance shouldn't have to pay for non-seatbelt wearing injuries).
