Equally i've been in a multi car pile up on the motorway and was the driver and not wearing my seatbelt. I estimate i hit the vehicle in front at about 50isn after scrubbing off some speed by sliding along the armco. I headbutted the windscreen and smashed it into a nice spiderweb affair (fitting eh?) and still have a tiny bit of glass embedded in my skull bone at the front. I chose not to wear my seatbelt and i'm not dead. If i died, it would have been my choice. I am not a fan of Govt telling me what risks i can take for myself. i asses the risk and do as i please form there.
Govt seatbelt laws are simply there to raise revenue as so many other things they are hidden behind the "its to protect you" smoke screen.
