[QUOTE="Fran, post: 256304, member: 3"] I absolutely believe the seat belt laws have decreased the number of injuries tremendously. If you get run over by a freight train, it won't make any difference but if you are in a fender mender it will make the difference from post concussion syndrome and possible personality changes to maybe whiplash or even back pain. If you know head injury, you know that a slip disc or even whiplash is a better way to go. We were legislated to be smarter. You have to be really out of touch to not think a seatbelt doesn't need to be worn. I hardly ever see kids untethered in cars but I did see some children in both Miami and Dallas where a lot of the population is uneducated and ignorant of laws. If we couldn't sue then maybe we should be free to be as stupid as we want with cigs and seatbelts but if insurances are going to pay the big bucks then they have every right to say that if you don't wear a seatbelt you don't get insured. We can't have it both ways. I'm not a fan of insurance, believe me but it is a scary world without it. There has to be some middle ground. [/QUOTE]
