I agree with you on this - it wouldn't make a whit of difference. My argument is that the same logic behind no helmet laws should also be applied to seat belts - personal choice. And the odd thing is that the "safety" statistics for seat belt use being more safe than not is highly fabricated and, frankly, false. I really don't care one way or another. I have no idea what the data shows. Why are there such laws in place if it doesn't help? Not trying to argue, just get some points of view. I find it hard to believe that insurance companies, who actually know the cost, would promote anything that would cost them more money. If seat belts and helmets were not safer, insurance companies would aggressively fight against the laws. Insurance companies make more money when they pay out more money. Sounds strange, but everytine they have to pay out more money they raise rates, and they make a percentage of the rates as profit. Higher rates, higher profit. I guess they should be pushing to get rid of air bags, they could really make some big time money. Lose more payers. |
