altho i don't think there should be a law, or that it should be a primary offense (secondary here in arkansas), i do wear a seatbelt.
but i do think it should be enforced for children and safety seats!
we had two fatalities in less than 24 hours on the same stretch of road, both drivers were ejected-the one guy would have lived had he had his seatbelt on, the other i don't think it would have mattered.
he drove under a log truck, and was partially decapitated. i came up on the wreck right after it happened, no emergency vehicles yet or anything. i don't think i'll ever forget seeing him laying there.
but had he been wearing a seatbelt, he may not have gotten tossed partially out of the open window, and the head injury may not have occurred....it was pretty gruesome.
