I agree with your statement.  I was opposed to making wearing seatbelts 
mandatory, too.  My theory is that it is the riders' (or drivers') choice 
whether they want to or not, but my husband told me that not wearing a 
seatbelt COULD result in causing another's injury in a wreck.  I'm not 
completely swayed by this theory, and I believe in freedom of choice.  Of 
course I persuaded him to wear a helmet, partly because of his accident about 
6 years ago and partly because I didn't want to find myself a widow, 
prematurely.
