You realize seatbelts protect us from others, right- not just from ourselves.

Speeding laws and car inspections directly protect us from others in that they restrain others. Seatbelts only mitigate the consequences but restraining us (pun intended). Mandating seatbelt use is like mandating that we lock the doors to our homes. Maybe we need a law for that, while we're at it...
