speeding and seatbelt laws are laws that are deemed criminal before a real crime happens... “for the safety of society”, to “prevent injurty to others”... instead of making the penalties for such accidents and accidental deaths what they should be, setting fines for behavior that may lead to such outcomes brings in more money...

don’t let anyone try to tell you that it ain’t all about the money...

I would argue that the seat belt laws are more of a way to provide police an opportunity to go fishing and get access to a vehicle they have a hunch about. The Money is gravy.
