I do not believe that the automatic use of seatbelts means you don't die in a car accident. 3 of my aunts were in a fatal car accident in Florida in 1996. A truck driver fell asleep crossed over the median and they hit him all wearing their seatbelts the 2 in the front died on impact, my Aunt in the back however survived. It didn't matter if the my two Aunt's in the front were wearing their seatbelts or not due to their speed and rate of impact , however common sense leads me to believe that driving 70MPH down an interstate and hitting a vehicle you will have a better chance of survival when there is something to restrain you. To each his own is my opinion (unless you are in my car and then seatbelts are mandatory) just don't complain when a law is passed you don't obey it and you get a ticket. JMO
