Another little thought exercise, boys and girls.

No one disputes that overall, seatbelt usage saves lives and reduces injuries. So a government mandate for seatbelts and their use would seem to be acceptable government intervention into private behavior. Where instead of making you aware of the advantages, they force them on you.

Now, you might say, this is a good thing. But, if seatbelts and their use had a direct effect on your (forced to buy) insurance premiums, people would demand them in their vehicles and use them, MINUS any government interference.

So let's take a further step into this benign benevolent legislation. Que bono? Who is it that really benefits from the legislation? The insurance companies. Follow the money.
