Does all this talk of seatbelt laws remind anyone else of the old
'Helmet Laws' for motorcyclists of a decade ago?  Seems to me those
laws were thrown out in court.  Does my memory serve me correctly
and if so could someone try to explain the philisophical difference
between the seatbelt laws of today vs. the helmet laws of yesterday.

Thanks,
Dave K.

By the way, I use my seatbelt all the time and have for the last
4 years.  I support the law as I supported the helmet law on the grounds
of who pays to take care of the people turned veggies by accidents.
