Why is not wearing seat belt against the law?

foxwalk SG

cuz public resources will be wasted in trying to revive the person/collect the body.

and also damaging government property.
check your butt... there should have a stamp which says... "property of singapore"

maybe if you didnt have a seatbelt you might fly out the window and hit someone like missile, resulting in murder. =)

hmmm.. well.. in this world.. not only you exist.. there are many of us too.. it is a rather digusting sight to remove a body from a car.. but to get throw out of the window onto oncoming traffic is like... brain here, hands there, legs another place Rolling Eyes

yep. my mates friend died in a car accident. he went into a pole, which split the front half of the car, they found bits of him up to 80metres away.

recently, my housemate was driving us back from the supermarket. tyre blew out at 55kmh (its not very fast is it?) and we went into the railings on the side of the road. the whole front of his car (vw golf) got rammed into the dashboard. the car got scrapped. and we were waaay under the speed limit. if we hadnt had seatbelts on, he have serious neck injuries, and id have either been out the window, or have my face in it.

Yes, someone or the law can stop the parent. IF u go to asian women welfare site, they actually has some articles written on it. But this is abt some guy who question the use of seatbelt n why the govt is imposing a law against it.Then dun ask about singapore law,other countries are imposing the same.In UK, if u dun hav a child seat, its a no go.
So u are right, his argument or the lack of it, is seriously warped.
For me, I don't justify laws or why others can do this n i can't, I belt up because its the right thing to do, for my passengers n for those around me.Everytime I step into the car, I am responsible for the safety of those inside,outside and myself. and that includes shutting off the frickin HP when Im in a petrol station.
Drive safe, drive smart.

Hi.

While you're at it asking why, NOT wearing seat-belts, is against the LAW -you should also go ahead and ask; WHY is committing suicide against the LAW?

The analogy is simple; if in the case of a botched up suicide, you don't die and becomes incapacitated, who will have to look after you if you have no next of kin? Or if your next of kin, does not have the financial ability to sustain your medical needs? And in the case of NOT wearing a seat-belt, the scenario is very likely similar; who is there to take care of you if you DON'T die? Even if you do have someone or an entire family to take care of you, wouldn't your predicament impare the abilities of members of your family from contributing to society fully?

Everybody knows that in SIngapore, it is best that a person dies thereof, rather than, to drag on indefinitely incurring exorbitant medical costs.

It's already so hard to make a living here as a healthy person, can't imagine how much worst trying to keep a mangled body alive!!

It's cheaper to die in Singapore.
