> However, I do not believe the law has any right to make me
wear a seat belt when I'm driving. Laws have no business
putting their noses into a personal decision on my part that
can affect only me.

Well, if you drive the car, unstrapped, and your family are
passengers, strapped, your death will certainly affect your
surviving family.

And, at least in a country like Norway, where society pays the
hospital bill, I think it's perfectly OK for society to make me
wear seat belts to reduce bodily damage if an accident should
happen.

Also, there are a lot of people dumb enough not to care
about their lives when they drive a car, and those will probably
be very thankful for the mandatory seat belt the day the car
crashes.
