Partially agree.....there is not one single issue but a combination of issues and seat belts are just one of them. Everyone touched on the others, speed, aggressive driving, diminished reactions and of course lack of enforcement. I for one would not drive without a seat belt because it's no big deal to buckle up and the consequences are worth the time. If you don't want to wear them, that's your choice and, I guess, you also make the choice for the person riding with you. As long as the insurance actuaries don't start increasing rates because of statistical stuff as they did when helmet laws went away I really don't care how you think of your friends and family.....it is your choice. Speed, aggressive driving, diminished reactions are not limited to golf carts, but, in cars the police address those issues. The police here, and the District, have no interest in enforcement.
