Seat belt laws: Do you think Florida should pass a 'primary seat belt law'?

50% Yes
25% No

Comment: I always use my seatbelt, and insist the same of everyone riding with me, but I do NOT want a law mandating it. The government has too much control over the most basic areas of our lives. I believe in personal responsibility and in accepting the consequences of our own actions. from Pensacola by Lisa

Comment: Yes, I happen to believe in seat belts. I do think that anyone who is so careless with taking care of themself needs something to take care of them. Maybe paying upwards of $2 or 3 hundred a pop will get their attention! from Mary Esther, Fl. by Tom

Comment: Not wearing seatbelts would endanger only me and not affect someone elses safety. So don't force me to wear it. the state doesn't make people not overeat because it would endanger a person's health. It's my decision!!!! from pensacola by clay

Comment: if the state says motorcycle riders over 21 do not have to wear helmets, car drivers over 21 should not have to wear seatbelts. but thay both should because it saves lives from pensacola fl by dale
