If either mandate was removed I would still click in and put on the brain bucket.

A few years ago the group of academics that came up with "Designated Driver" and got it popularized tried to do the same with seatbelts. They used the phrase "Remember Diana" - 'cause of the 4 people in her car, the one that lived was the bodyguard that had his on. Didn't catch on, sadly.
This morning I changed out the little girl's safety seat to a booster seat. She's religious about the belting in - but it gave me pause, changing from a 5 point harness to a 3 point lap and shoulder belt.
