While I am a big believer in seat belt use, I'm very against these laws, because they are glittering examples of incrementalism.
Michigan lawmakers made the same assurances many years ago -- that this would be a secondary offense only, and that you couldn't be stopped simply for not wearing a seat beld.
Guess how long that lasted? If it says (D) or (R) after their names, they can't be trusted.

Agreed (my life was saved by a sealtbelt once). But we've seen the incrementalism here in WA.

25 years ago the signs read "Buckle Up: We Love You". (yeah, right)

Years later, the signs read, "Buckle Up: It's the law". (secondary offense)

Now the signs read: "Click It or Ticket." Primary offense, which they assured us would never happen.

Liars.

In 15 years, the signs will read: "Buckle Up Or We Will Kill You."
