They claim that seatbelts have become accepted, but no one actually believes that. If people thought the general public has accepted wearing seat belts, they would have no reason for having penalties for not wearing them. Take away the fines, we'll see how many people have accepted wearing seat belts. You don't really believe people have accepted seat belts until you agree that the penalties for not wearing one should be abolished.Just like the old saying, "totalitarianism: ideas so great we have to force people to accept them."</blockquote>
