I see that pointless law did nothing at all to change peoples habits.
Any facts to back that up? I don't recall seeing a plethora of people not buckling their kids in 20 years ago. And was it the law that did it or the educational campaigns and news stories that they ran that got everyone doing it? The incredible crash test dummies ad campaign is considered one of the most successful of all time. For example there is no law that children sit in the backseat, but it is recommended by a bunch of organizations and is effectively communicated. I don't see a lot of small children riding in front seats.
