They say "It's my car and I should be able to do what I want inside". (Within reason of course)
 
Most of them think that the government should have no right to tell them what to do in their own vehicle. What they don't realize is that those laws aren't there so the government can control us more. The insurance industry lobbied to get those laws passed.

You see, people who refuse to wear seat belts cause our insurance premiums to be higher. If someone has an accident, and they aren't wearing their seat belt, their injuries are almost always more severe (meaning bigger medical bills) than they would be had they been wearing one. In fact, many insurance companies will give you a significant discount if your car is equipped with automatic shoulder straps.
