I’ve never seen anybody get pulled over just for not wearing a seat belt.

I have.

If you can keep it at the speed limit and between the lines you won’t draw attention to yourself, you can be drunk, texting and not wearing a seat belt but if you’re keeping it together they won’t even notice you.

Maybe so. But I don't care. Passing a law that has unwritten rules about how it is enforced is just plain stupid. Sooner or later those unwritten rules disappear and we're stuck with it.

There’s not unwritten rule, it’s a simple matter of logistics, if you’re keeping control of your car cops can’t tell if you’re breaking one of the rules that exists to force you to keep control of your car. They can only tell if you’re NOT keeping control of your car, at which point they pull you over and figure out why and give you the appropriate ticket. That’s how all traffic laws worked and have worked and always will work.
