NH is the ONLY state without a seat belt law for adults. Could it be other states have figured out that the costs of dealing with those critically injured by not wearing seat belts is a financial burden on every taxpayer (higher insurance, Medicaid costs, etc.). Tell you what, if your willing to consent to having zero zip nada insurance coverage if you're injured in an accident when you WEREN'T wearing a seatbelt, then I say "live free or (and?) die. This is a reasonable law. It saves taxpayers $$$$. But if you'd rather not, then let's change the insurance coverages and you can do as you please at your own risk AND EXPENSE. If you libertarians don't like additional laws, then don't ask the average joe to pay for your stupidity if you don't wear a seatbelt.
