What about the following costs: * Rescue personnel time * Psychological trauma to rescue personnel * Hospital beds and rescue personnel potentially not available for other people who may also need them * Time lost by commuters due to the longer road shut down and cleanup Should we charge the non-seat-belt-wearer for these costs as well? It doesn't sound practical or humanitarian. As for being "forced" to wear a seat belt, note that you can avoid wearing a seat belt in the following circumstances: * Driving in certain states (esp. Rocky Mountains) * Taking public or manual transportation * Driving on race tracks or private roads -- Michael Malak malak@claygency.com -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
