You have to take into account the people who won't teach their kids to belt up unless there's a fine attached to not doing it. And a passenger thrown forward from the back seat in an accident carries enough force to crack the skull of the person in the seat in front of them.

Because we all know that if there's not a law against something, it must be good for us. Like pornography or prostitution or suicide or making your house a giant litter box and refusing to use the toilet in the name of water conservation.
