as far as the insurance rates getting raised, that is the insurance company who makes that decision.
as far as my body flying around the car, i think it would probably go forward into the windshield. i dont know, i have yet to see a good argument for seatbelts, other than "it will save your life."

are you standing next to that light pole selling dope and hookers?
i dont think the body could fly through a windshield and maintain 70+ miles per hour. if the car hit the lightpole, and the body flew out and hit you, that means you were standing in front of the lightpole, so i think the car would hit you first. sorry, your argument makes no sense.

Yes, because every light pole has nobody around for 80 ft except for hookers, and...drug addicts? Right?
Here, how about a tree next to a children's playground?
I'm talking about a situation where you'd fly past the light pole or tree, not into the light pole. You don't need to be standing between the car and the lightpole to get hit. It depends on the body's trajectory. Excuse my grossly done mspaint drawing.
Nothing here is in the correct scale, and should only be considered for illustrative purposes.
Yes, I know it's far fetched and stuff. At this point I don't care much if someone drives without a seatbelt, I just like the law being there so that the majority doesn't and that the EMS doesn't have to scrape too many people's face off the concrete/jungle gym.
