Seatbelts?

You would think by now most of the people who are driving in cars would have a healthy habit of wearing their seatbelt.  Automatic reflex.  Mom instilled it, didn't she?  I was wide-eyed and found myself even exerting a small gasp at the sight of not just one but 2 drivers mid-corner-turning-pulling-seatbelt-over-to-latch.  I was shocked.  I thought not wearing your seatbelt was so passe?  I wanted to call my mom and express my exasperated reaction.  Although, then I would be creating another hazard?  Who am I to talk, on the contrary I think its fine for people to talk on their cell phones when they are on highways, heck I do it all the time!  
Solution:  only allow people to talk on their cell phones while driving if they are not wearing their seatbelts.  Now that would get me to stop talking! and I would bet a little darwinism would kick in! 

I appreciate all of you who wear your seatbelts!
