I don't know the answer.

The seatbelt theme is interesting. I think only one or two states don't have seatbelt laws. The theme is that seatbelts save lives. (I've never worn one) However how many states that REQUIRE you to wear a seatbelt lest you be ticketed by your friendly neighbrhood policeman say it's perfectly OK for motorcyclists to ride out on the highway without wearing a brain bucket?
Choice & personal responsibility. Our nation was founded on it.
