30. yep, if it's all about safety how is that I can get fined for being unbelted
but the folks in the city bus right beside me on the freeway are perfectly OK standing up?

Or I can face serious charges if the kid in my vehicle is not strapped in but a kid in a school bus couldn't belt up even if they wanted to?

I think cars should have full harness-style seat belts and you're just asking for a trip through the front glass by not wearing it, but don't try to tell me a seat belt law which applies only to private vehicles is any more than another revenue generator or an excuse for the police to fuck with drivers.
