[#505000]With an issue like PFD's and Seatbelts if it just affected the poor SOB who didn't want to use it I would say more power to the poor SOB it's his choice. Since it affects and costs so much for everyone else when not used THEN and only THEN do I think it should be made mandatory. [/#505000]

[#505000]A slight inconvience for you saves millions of tax dollars and a lot of grief and heart aches for familes. Seems a pretty small price pay. [/#505000]

[#505000]Take a step back and look at the big picture. quite frankly it's not all about you ("you" being anyone of the persoanl choice crowd) it's about YOUR familes, and everybody who has to foot the bill.[/#505000]

[#505000]I would rather spend the $500,000 spend looking for a body on something worth while. I would guess your families would trade in all the life insurance settlements in the world to have a dead father and husband back. It's not about the you's it's about those you leave behind. [/#505000]

[#505000]As far as the cellphone thing goes it is apples and oranges. I'm talking about basic safety equipment not added driver distractions. However for another topic and another debate I will tell you studies have shown, and my real life experience has shown cellphone talking drivers are as poor of drivers as those who are DUI.

Quote:[size 1]CP,I can clearly see that you have no trouble with government telling you how to live your life.If thats works for you then great.It just don't work for me.You want a law that will make it mandatory to wear a pfd.Then the question begs to be asked ,whats next.Should we all be wrapped in bubble wrap before we leave the house,so that no one will get hurt?Society is full of dangers.
