I agree with the seatbelt law. If parents exercised common sense, laws like this wouldnt have to be written. Its unfortunate that we've become such an over governed society... but its because of parents and people who do whatever they please because they can. And there's no law to stop them. How many times have you or heard others say "Well its not illegal! If it were so important there would be a law for it!" This is OUR fault as a society!!! instead of us keeping our children in booster seats because its obviously the best thing for them, we take them out early because the law says we can. There are guidelines and suggestions from experts about how we should use carseats (rear facing guidelines, forward facing guidelines, booster guidelines) but we don't listen to those!! We only listen to "at 4 they can get out!" We are a society that wants the easy way out and we want to just do enough to get by! And unfortunately for the children they can't tell us when we are wrong.

So although I disagree with there being so many laws.... I completely agree that children should be in carseats until they are much older! Its absolutely safer and no one can argue that it is not!! Even small women should consider boosting themselves up in a car because the seatbelts are designed for taller people. Use common sense!!! and dont be afraid to do the right thing.... even if it goes against what the herd is doing!
