The problem with seatbelts and airbags is that seatbelts in regular cars are really BS. 3 Point seat bealts are meant to hold you in the car but only do a mediocre job of holding you in the seat and in place. Like someone else said the airbag is a supplemental to the other safety measures in the car already. Honestly I HATE seatbelts and think you should still be allowed a choice whether or not you wear them. If the government REALLY cared for your safety they would mandate a seatbelt that would hold the passengers in place better, i.e. 4 or 5 point belts, properly worn. The need for an airbag would be greatly reduced if this were to happen. But the problem there is that if vehicle manufacturers started putting them in cars people would probably not wear them.
Last time I read the number one cause of accidents was food or drink in the car, not cell phones (still a distraction though). If people payed more attention while driving I think there would be a lot less accidents. A motor vehicle in many cases can be a deadly weapon and there should be a lot more restrictions for drivers, like rigorous driving exams, better seatbelts that really restrict your movement in the car. If you are moving there really is no need to move.
I only wear my seatbelt so I dont get ticketed. Insurance is a scam and I dont want to give them any more of my money.
The world IS full of stupid people.
