I dont like to wear my seat belt, I think it is annoying and I would rather not have it in the car. In the Solstice it constantly gets stuck in the door, if I never wore the damn thing I could keep it tucked behind the seat. Honestly if I get into an accident in the Solstice that is SO BAD that the seatbelt is going to save my life I am probably going to get HORRIBLY injured anyway so what is the difference?

Helmets are not optional in jersey, they will stop you just as fast, if not faster than no seat belt. Second of all, I don't care if they don't care about ME. They are protecting US by these laws. I don't want your body parts about OUR roads, spending OUR tax dollars because you can't be bothered to drive with a seat belt.

You don't care about yourself? Fine. Then wear it for your family and friends. How would you feel watching a close family member (mom / dad / wife / sibling) of yours live off life support for the remainder of their life while getting paid to do so on my dime because you will most certainly not be able to afford that. Not wearing your seat belt is selfish, ignorant, and most of all stupid.
