Disclaimer: I choose to wear a seatbelt when I drive
But this is precisely why seatbelt laws are dangerous - most reasonable people would wear them anyway. We shrug off the tyranny of this law because it doesn't really affect our behavior. What it does do is set a strong precedent for outlawing behavior that affects nobody else but yourself.
This is not just a legal precedent. The Public Health Fascists use this as moral justification for continuing to mandate a vaccine even after it was shown that it does not prevent the spread of the virus.
It is just as reasonable to require a health pass to eat at KFC, so why isn't that a law? Because the government doesn't care about your health. Unhealthy food is bad for you, but good for the economy! So are all the Statin drugs, type 2 diabetes medications and Doctor visits you will likely need. We spend more money on health care than any other first world country, and have the worst health outcomes. It's not about health.
Seatbelt laws are all about compliance. Don't stop wearing your seatbelt, but do stop supporting fascist regulations. If for some reason I didn't want to wear my seatbelt, it's no more your business than my diet. Seatbelt laws just pave the way for more fascist control in the name of protecting us from ourselves, and nobody should want to live in a world where the government and big business makes these decisions for us. Maybe you are OK with seatbelts and vaccines, but at some point someone will decide that something YOU want or do not want to do is a danger to yourself, and you won't have any ground left to stand on.
