Well, the fees are ridiculous, but as for the seat-belt laws:

In Canada, don't you guys have tax funded healthcare for everyone? Well, I imagine the price to fit a seat-belt wearer with a neck brace for whiplash is alot less than reconstructive surgery on someone's face and a full-body cast because they forcefully exited out of their vehicle through the front glass. And auto accidents are a major or the highest (statistics anyone?) cause of injury in any industrial nation. Less cost, means less tax hikes or money spent on other, more useful things. So, from a utilitarian standpoint, making people wear seat belts is better for everyone, not just you.

Whether I actually believe what I just said is a mystery, just something to think about.

Blackdragon, that is exactly how the take your freedom, by rationalizing it away. Maybe it will save you a few bucks if you make everyone wear a seatbelt, but that doesn't mean you have the right to tell me I have to.

I don't actually believe that seatbelts should be legally required. I was just playing devil's advocate.
