Motorcycle drivers are able to not wear a helmet here and not get bothered about it. If a person wants to not wear a seatbelt it should not be of anyone's concern and surly not needing a ticket for it.

a bit more uniform in oz. you can get booked for not wearing a seatbelt or not wearing a helmet (when on a motorbike naturally) anywhere in australia. i think most states you can get booked for talking on a mobile phone while driving too.
the main reason as stated above is the burden to society when people are injured. even if they die outride it is a burden since presumably that person had dependants, or worked or both etc.

We can't get people to stop downing a fifth of Jack and driving. What hope do we have of making people wear a belt?

Same here in Kentucky.

Ticket and fine for both not wearing a seat belt or not wearing a helmet. Of course, with public health care, we kinda try and keep people from hurting themselves, even if they're too stupid to do it themselves.

After last night, my life expectancy probably dropped a good decade or so. :P :laugh2:
