One-third of New York’s small businesses may be gone forever

Seat belt laws should not be on the books. Yes you should wear it, but the government should not be allowed to make rules that only protect you - so many other draconian rules would disappear if they could only outlaw things that show clear danger to third-parties.

And I wear my seatbelt always when driving, though not necessarily if I am backing into a spot.

Ok, but if you don't wear a seatbelt and get into an accident and fly out the window onto the pavement, are you going to expect all the government services, police, firemen, public hospitals to eat the cost of your accident that will likely be much more severe due to your lack of seatbelt?
