Or you are going through a green light and some jackass in the
right-hand turn lane in a multi-lane cross street, who cannot be easily
seen due to other cars obscuring that lane, and is running from cops,
plows into your car doing 80 mph. Some things simply cannot be
realistically avoided, and seat belts along with air bags DO matter.

blame the cops for that. car chases put innocent people at risk.

Pay attention. Who is to blame has absolutely nothing to do with the
fact that seatbelts make people safer.

it has everything to do with it. cops put people at risk with their
chases.

Nope. That doesn't change the fact that in generally you are safer with a
seatbelt than without.

nobody said otherwise.

the point is that your scenario was due to cops chasing someone. had
they not done that, there wouldn't have been vehicles going through a
red light and endangering others.
