When i got my first kidney xplant i talked to the docs about it - the law went into effect sometime around then. At the time they wrote me a letter to NOT wear them... I got a ticket for not wearing my belt, fought it, the ADA wanted to drop it, but the judge said nope - he'll have to take it higher than here. I ended up with 1 point and no fine. I have mixed feelings on seatbelts, but its a political thing (and helmets), not safety related.
