Seatbelts are velvet chains that same way license plates and driver's licenses and speed limits and traffic lights and all other trafic laws are.

You want the privilege to drive your automobile on paved roads to traverse the town, county or country? Then abide the laws passed by your duly elected brethren.

If you value your freedom to drive with no seatbelt more than the privilege to use tax-funded roads then you can always drive up and down your driveway and walk to the store.

You talk like you're the spokesman for the nanny state. The nannies that pay for everything. I got news for you, I pay the damn taxes and they're my roads too. As long as I drive w/o crashing and in a respectable manner, keep your damn jackbooted road agents the hell off my tail. Keep your airbags, your seatbelts and your medical assistance and all your concern for my health and safety.

Furthermore the Constitution doesn't grant rights, they are claiimed by Free individuals. They are retained by individuals that fight for them, regardless of the onslaught and claims of whatever group of tyrants shows up. If my fellow citizens want to be my new mommy, then they will have to join the ranks of the N. Koreans and other communitarians, or get in line with them, because I will not turn over my soverenty of will in personal matters to a committee of benevolent bozos, whether they're duly elected bozos, or not!

And all who agree with this law, and other laws like it. Seat belt law? Good or bad? Well for me if it wasn't a law I would wear it. And for sure put them on my children. But to be a law for anyone over 18, No, It should be your choice.
And what about this, If it is Big Brother taking care of us sheep, Then why isn't their seat belts on school busses?
