ISU Stoplight camera study.

The biggest problem is left hand turns where you don't have a protected turn. When it's busy, people often can't go until the light is yellow.

If you're late, you get a ticket. If you stay put, you are sitting in the intersecting traffic lane.

It's my understanding that they won't be issuing tickets for this type of incident.

What makes you think you would get a ticket in this situation?

Requiring people to wear seat belts protects both parties in an accident. If you cause an accident and the other person isn't wearing a seat belt and ends up dead because of it, would you prefer vehicular manslaughter and a gigantic lawsuit or would you prefer having the chance it's thrown out because the other driver was negligent? You'll still get charged with something (failure to maintain control, running a light, etc.) and your insurance will be on the hook for the medical bill which is going to hurt your premium, but I'd say the seat belt law can really benefit you in that instance.

Why stop at seat belts? Lets make everyone wear a helmit and full pads whenever they step off of their property. How much could I save on my insurance then?

It's a good thing to be forced to buy auto insurance but it's a bad thing to be forced to buy health insurance, have I got that right?

Nobody is forced to buy comprehensive or collision insurance. Only liability to cover damage you cause to others. Health insurance is not to cover damage you may cause to others so it is not the same.
