That may be your experience Tom but far more meaningful statistic show
otherwise. ;-)

That's where you are wrong.

The reporting requirements for seat belt use in accidents is to ask
the occupants if they were wearing seat belts.

90% don't say no.

Also, most seat belt accidents are at or under 25 mph - that's a fact.

So if seat belt use it being over reported, the "stats" are bull****.

Show me. ;-)

That's just it - you can't. The nanny staters and insurance won't
release the total information - only the parts that say that seat
belts save lives.

When you control the information, you control the results.


So NHTSA, local/state police department and private agency reporting of
accident data is controled by insurance company's?

Seat belt laws are based on bull**** and skewed to high speed
incidents rather than what the true results are.

For every piece of data you post that shows that wearing seatbelts does
not
save lives I will post 2.

You start. ;-)

No thanks - I don't argue with True Believers.


As Perry Mason would say.............I rest my case. ;-)
