Because, unless you can guaranty that:
a).- You will be dead after the crash.
What does that matter Victor? Can you guarantee that the driver will not be
dead with the seat belt in use? No.
b).- You will NOT hurt others or destroy propriety.
Irrelevant. Seat belts have nothing to do with property damage. Nor does
wearing one's seat belt have anything to do with hurting others.
c).- You will pay all the cost, from your own pocket.
He will - to the same extent that you or I will pay from our own pockets for
anything we get into.
We, will end paying for parts of your actions .....
What is the added cost to you that you claim? Nothing more than what any
other accident on the street would create. This has long been a claim of
those who have no real supporting argument for why an individual should
buckle up, but it has also long been a baseless point. Simply, if one such
as the OP has some philosophical hang up about his freedoms being infringed
upon and all that, then fine, exercise your freedom. If the simple fact
that seat belts do reduce injury and death does not appeal to the OP, then
fine, prove it to yourself. Some philosophical points just don't merit the
ultimate outcome, but the real test of reason is in the ability to discern
that.
