In Georgia, you can still legally refuse to put on your seatbelt - if you drive a pickup truck. Georgia is the last state with such a law remaining on the books, legislators in all of the other states have caved in to pressure by the NHSTA and other lobbyist groups attempting to infringe upon the will of the people.

    Isn’t a basic tenent of law that a law can not compel performance? If so, how does legislation overcome this? Is it a public policy issue? I’m not a lawyer- please forgive me if I’ve displayed some ignorance of this issue. But this topic has come up before in class and I’ve always wondered about it since. Thank you.
