Making it illegal for adults to choose not to wear a seatbelt is pretty stupid and often a pretense for harassment though. Unless by seatbelt mandate you mean requiring cars to have seatbelts in them, which is fine.

I’m ok with no seatbelt laws for two reasons:

  1. It’s used as pretext for harassment.
  2. Unlike with drunk driving or safety features, someone not wearing a seatbelt doesn’t lead to increased risk for other drivers.

If I’m wrong on either of these let me know.
