Why are seat belt laws mandatory for adults? Tobacco and alcohol are regulated, but not banned for adults. Here's the connection-the government forces adults to wear seat belts for our own protection. Wait a minute! They don't ban tobacco and alcohol for our own protection; they regulate it. Seat belt laws should not be mandatory for adults, but for minors. Most adults are capable of choosing what they can do to promote their own safety if they are educated about all the facts. The government should not force their laws into personal safety, but the safety effect we have on others. Seat belt laws are ridiculous. Don't take away adults' right to choose.
