That's one reason 49 states have mandatory seat-belt-use laws for adults.

Wow! What state still lets adults make choices for themselves? I might want to move there if they are as freedom-loving as this little tid-bid makes them appear!

A LIE

States have mandatory seat belt laws in order to qualify for Federal Highway Funds.

We're working on another one, too. And interestingly, are drafting a proposed state law that would make compliance with federal extortion a state *official misconduct* offense, carrying a minimal misdemeanor criminal penalty, but resulting in the loss of the state office or position of the extortion-compliant public servant.

The feds use of the threat of withholding federalm gasoline tax funds collected by the states evaporates pretty quickly in the face of state responses to quit collecting those taxes, or, should the taxes be collected prior to shipment delivery into the state, with deferral of maintenance on pet federal projects like interstate highways until the extortion ends.
