In reference to the article suggesting other restrictions on highway use
be lifted....

I take a libertarian view of mandatory seatbelt laws. I do *NOT* want to see
use of seatbelts dictated by law. I *DO* want to see non-use penalized by
voiding *ALL* insurance benefits to non-using victims in the at-fault
vehicle. Maybe anyone not using seatbelts should lose insurance benefits. That
way we have a choice to be stupid or not. And as a few of us have noticed,
societal attempts to legislate common sense fail!
