I don't understand why people have difficultly dealing with a seatbelt requirement
Because the requirement is unconstitutional. It is taking away our rights. Our freedom of choice. Let's say for the sake of conversation some one wants to make it illegal to say the "N" word. That word is universally a no no so why even have it. Why Not make such an offensive word illegal? So we outlaw it. Then another group comes along and wants to ban the "C" word - pertaining to women. So we ban that word too. And make a fine for using it. Now what other words are there that people don't like to hear. Let's ban them too. You see where it goes?

But the price you paid for the safety of the seat belt is not worth the cost in lost liberty. Ben Franklin said it best. "Those who trade their liberty for safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
