If you choose to disobey the laws and not do such, either stay off the road or come borrow this single shot pistol I have siting here and put yourself out of my misery.....
First offence no seatbelt or helmet should be a fine.. second... loss of license.
You scare me.

Okay here goes...
I wear my seatbelt. always.
My kids are in carseats beyond the legally required ages. always.
I wear a helmet on a motorcycle. always.
I wear my safety glasses every time I have a tool in my hand.
I wear steel toes, a hard hat, gloves, and long sleeves when working not because they are mandatory, but because I am extremely safety concious, and value my eyes, fingers, toes, etc. I feel it is my duty to my family to return home in the same condition that I left.
I hate laws that protect me from me. I hate the government telling me how to prepare for my own safety. What's next? 6' deep crash mats for bungee jumping? Knee pads for cyclists? These laws suck and are extreme voiations of our freedom.
As for the police, a law is a law and their job is their job. Can't blame them for doing their job.
[edit]
I think it would be a good idea if insurance companies had language in their policies that voided personal injury claims for not wearing belts. There is a big difference between that and fining someone who may have simply forgotten his/her belt.
