State Rep. Daniel Veilleux, D-Amherst, said "Last year, two-thirds of those killed in crashes in New Hampshire were not wearing restraints while the national average for unbelted highway fatality victims was about 50%."
"Rep. Ted Gorski, R-Bedford, said the bill violates the state Constitution because it would amount to government intrusion."
Supposedly, New Hampshire does not receive about 5-million dollars in federal grant money that would go into the NH general fund by not having a mandatory seat belt law.
It seems to me that drivers who chose not to wear a seat belt probably have other bad driving habits like crossing the center yellow line, and tail gating.
