This law will NOT stop these frackin morons, there is not even close to enough officers on the road to enforce this, there is no demerits which is the real deterent.
It simply wont work. It hasn't in other jurisdictions and it wont here. I applauded the government when they made the law to slow to 60 kph when passing emergency vehicles, but it hasn't stop these same ######s.

I dunno. The seatbelt law has no demerits. It is more or less followed. I remember when it was instituted, my mom's arguments were similar to yours. The government telling us how to live. Not gonna change anything. Well, 20 years later, 99 out of 100 cars I see are all wearing their seatbelts.
A few years of giving tickets to people does a lot. I don't even care if this is called a cash cow. Make the fine $1,000 for all I care. Like the cigarette butt fine.
