My husband and I always wear our seat belts, and definitely make our children wear them. However, I do think if the person is an adult it should be their choice as to whether they wear a seat belt or not. I would be happy if they just changed the law to where anyone under 18 is required to wear one. Most people to do wear them out of safety, but we shouldn't be made to.
As for seat belts having the opposite effect, my brother went to school with a boy in Bethalto where the seat belt cut him in half in the accident. So while in most cases, it does save lives, it can also do the opposite.
