Seat Belt Law Reason

Yesterday, in a post I titled Seat Belt Law Foolishness, I noted that the Live Free or Die state, the only state in the nation without a mandatory seat belt usage law, was considering such a law.

Today I read,

The mandatory seatbelt bill hit a bump in the road when the Senate Transportation and Interstate Committee voted to recommend the bill be killed.

Good on them.

Funny, though, the article noting the above did have to sneek this paragraph into the article today, which I noted yesterday as what I thought the main reason the mandatory seat belt law was being brought to a vote.

The state would receive a $3.7 million federal grant if the bill passes.

If you don’t want to wear your seat belt, don’t, but don’t come crying to the state for recompense if you’re critically injured in an automobile accident.
