Seems like not having laws requiring people to wear seat belts would be a REALLY great exercise of natural selection.

Because seeing a body with its entire front scraped to the bone is traumatizing

They shouldn't be reproducing to begin with so it's like killing 2 stones with 1 bird.

realistically, the seatbelt laws in the USA are not restrictive enough. in Europe, cars cannot start unless the seatbelt is on.

Why are any laws a thing?
Why is humanity a thing?
Why are things a thing?

I knew a dude who was a first responder, he said that he's never had to cut a seatbelt off of a dead body.

I dunno if that's true or an exaggeration, but the point is still there. Wear your loving seatbelt.

How does the seatbelt law work if you are in car from a year before seatbelts were required in them? As far as I know your car only has to comply to safety requirements of when it was made.

that is correct, although you can install aftermarket seatbelts if you so choose
