Via direct impact? Orfor the swerves and such resulting from the sudden human missile?
Don't have figures in either case, just curious how literal you were being.
And it's not just about deaths. I don't care what happens to the moron that thinks seat belts aren't necessary, but I wouldn't want a single dollar of property damage let alone personal injuries to be incurred by the innocent motorists that happen to be in the vicinity of his exit from the mortal coil.

I was being pretty literal. Because if one of the only reasons seatbelts are mandatory is because you become a weapon, then Id like to see the statistics showing why. If they cant provide these statistics, then I dont see the justification. I mean, I dont want to die, so I wear one. Im just thinking from the other side.

Speaking of costs incurred by other people due to stupidity...

Fun fact: In my province, they made it so a certain people dont have to wear helmets on motorbikes because of their religion. So foreign religion trumps domestic safety rules and insurance policies.
