      "It's distracting, some people can't wear them without constantly adjusting them and that's more dangerous" "It gives people a false sense of security and might cause them to act more dangerously" "What if a few people find it hard to breathe while wearing one"

      It's all SO STUPID It's unbearable in hindsight The thing about the "false sense of invincibility" especially - it's like we assholes who said that seatbelts couldn't possibly make a difference to death rates because it would just make people speed more

      NEWS FLASH PEOPLE ALREADY DID THAT You can go back in time to before we had seatbelts and see if people were generally much more safe, considerate drivers with the knowledge they didn't have seatbelts to save them Of course they weren't

      There's a general discussion to be had about "passive measures" vs "active measures" when it comes to any kind of safety Passive measures are ALWAYS BETTER It's always better to not require people to be conscious about their actions because THEY WON'T BE

      There is a huge, constant debate about this in every field and there are always experts concern trolling that passive protection "makes you stupid" and "trains you not to take responsibility for yourself" Okay but you CAN'T TRAIN PEOPLE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY THEY WON'T DO IT

      They have this argument about EVERYTHING Seatbelts will just make people drive less safely, a seatbelt isn't as good as being a careful driver in the first place Bike helmets aren't as good as being good at riding a bike Etc, etc

      About everything and they bring it to 11. The one I've heard a lot is the "replace airbags with shotgun shells" idea. Usually with something like "Imagine how much safer you'd drive if you knew an accident would kill you."

      I read an anecdote about this in Tom Vanderbilt's Traffic Saying he personally had driven a car where the driver's side seatbelt turned out to be broken and it really freaked him out for the duration of the trip

      He'd never been so jumpy or nervous while driving, more painfully aware of the extreme need to avoid getting in any kind of incident, both to avoid dying and to avoid getting pulled over and fined It made him never want to drive again

      But that's the thing, it actually made him more supportive of seatbelt laws Because he COULDN'T IMAGINE driving like that every single time he drove If seatbelts ceased to exist it would be a choice between never driving again or just getting used to it
