Wearing a seatbelt is generally safer.

nobody said otherwise.

the key is to *avoid* the collision in the first place.

Yes, and all the more so "in the cases where it cannot be avoided."

much of the time, a collision can be avoided. people need to take
responsibility for what happens.

I say remove all car insurance. If you crash, you pay for your own car's damage. That would make people avoid each other way more, no matter who is at fault. The current way of thinking for a lot of people is "he shouldn't be there, it's up to him to get out of the way or he'll have to pay for the damage".
