this isn't a good example at all, that law is to prevent you from hurting someone else, seat belt laws prevent you fro hurting yourself,
Actually, the law is to protect others as well as yourself...originally it was to protect children in a moving vehicle...not the driver...in fact every state has different laws concerning seat-belts ( unless that's changed )...and over the years it's been extended to include drivers and other passengers...if I remember correctly there was one State in the Eastern US that still doesn't have seat-belt laws...another one it was just for passengers...another one just for minors...etc...
