Ok, here goes.
1.) There are many more cars on the road, with more distractions
2.) You do not pay to clean up the mess if you get busted up. Everyone else does. A single person's tax payments are nowhere near enough, either. As a taxpayer, I want to force people to buckle up so I don't have to pay more taxes to clean up other people's messes. If people don't want to wear seat belts that should be their choice. But it should be marked on their license that they also wish to defer medical treatment.
