yer im pretty sure last week you posted something about speeding drivers and people not obeying the law to be the highest cause of road death in WA.
Like everything, its what is the focus of the week... I think the government sit around a table and find out what the "word of the week" is. This week its seat belts, next week someone will do a skid at Leach Highway Macca's and we will be back onto the hoons. |

"Taxpayers run the health system that looks after people who survive (crashes) who are permanently injured . . . (and many need) intensive car for the rest of their lives.'' What about all the deaths, injuries and other crap associated with people drinking alcohol, becoming drunk and doing stupid things. This should be banned aswell, as it is more of a burden on the health system? I do think that people who dont wear seatbelts should be fined hard though, how can you forget, i just wouldnt feel safe without it.

from doing a statistics as part of my qual. i found out just how easily the stats on something can be made to say what you want, while technically, not making any fudged numbers
anyways, i think anyone who gets hurt/killed because of no seatbelt are idiots who deserve no sympathy, really, the debate is much the same as helmets for bikes, people wont wear them due to vanity / its not cool, yet from person experience i know thet save lives, so anyone not wearing one is a moron Last edited by gumby2006; 11-02-2007 at 05:26 PM. |

If you're not wearing a seat belt on the road, you're showing how little regard you have for other motorists, not just yourself. |

1. Person has accident 2. Not wearing seatbelt, more injuries. 3. Taken to hospital, broken legs, brain damage (if seatbelt then nothing) 4. Injuries are paid for by 3rd party insurance on license. Now do you have any idea how the 3rd party insurer (the Govt) pays to have the broken legs fixed and the 3years of rehabilitation for brain damage ? ... Well its TAX. And it can cost 10's of thousands of $$ for some patients. So... YOU are paying for the hospital bills for road injuries through your tax. More injuries = bigger hospital bills = more tax. Next paycheck look at your tax. Part of that is paying for IDIOTS who don't wear seatbelts and clock up a big hospital bill. You are right in saying that people should take personal responsibility, however while tax payers are footing the bill they will still remain enforced by the law.
