text: I have mixed emotions about this. Two,or three years ago I lost a good friend because of an accident in town,in public. Bystanders at the scene reported trying to remove him from the vehicle which was on fire.All efforts were in vain.I had always supported the law up until this point,reasoning that in the event of an accident or loss of vehicular control you are more likely to regain control of your vehicle if you're not in the backseat.I am now of the opinion that any law which could possibly endanger life should be given a very hard second look.I wear mine but if I were the deciding factor in a nation-wide seatbelt law it would be left up to the individual.
