49. Anti-seatbeat libertarians annoy me tremendously as well
Not only do serious injuries/fatalities incur higher costs for medical treatment and rescue response, but I would think that the firefighters and EMTs would rather appreciate if they only had to treat you for some scraps and bruises instead of having to pick your brains off the asphalt. Why complain about seatbeat laws when the cost of compliance is so low (just two seconds of your time!) and the obvious benefits, not only to yourself, but to others are so clear?

There are just so many better discussions a libertarian could be focusing their time on, places we NEED a libertarian perspective, like with regard to privacy rights, government spying, etc.
