Not wearing seatbelt saves woman from being murdered, or worse.

From the Mayo News Online:

"This is an even more serious development because the reason we were exempt from wearing seatbelts was because of the threat of violence. We (Westport/Newport Association) had a meeting about it last night (Monday) and one female member said she was held by the throat on one occasion by a passenger and she would not have been able to get away had she been wearing a seatbelt," he said.
