It's against the 1st amendment and is illegal as are emission restrictions and government required safety regulations
What on earth does wearing a seatbelt have to do with the 1st amendment?

inb4 "that's fascism!"
Advising people to wear seatbelts is a great thing for the government to do.
Nothing fascist about that at all.

Just a reminder. A friend at work was in a bad accident this evening but was uninjured thanks to seat belt and air bags.

One of the most unconstitutional PSAs ever made.
Fixed.
Seat belt laws are restricting of freedoms and are unconstitutional. If there's no crime being committed on against any person then there is no crime being committed. If the government wants people to drive with seat belts put it in the Constitution
Then you as a constitutional moron should have to pay the expenses of removing your skull from the steering wheel, lets not forget the expenses of the ambulance etc etc etc.. or your loved ones will have to be billed, since you're probably not alive or just slightly more retarded and can not be understood.
It's law here, and a law I fully support since it saves lives and saves people from being horribly crippled which costs me the tax payer.
It's against the 1st amendment and is illegal as are emission restrictions and government required safety regulations
And if you hurt yourself in your vehicle by not wearing a seat belt, where in the constitution does it say that the taxpayer has to pay for your retarded ass?

And one of the better ways to inspire people to use them is through the natural process of insurance incentives.
How? How does an insurance company give people discounts for using seatbelts? They can start charging you more after you're in an accident without a seatbelt but that is a pretty poor incentive because the damage has likely already been done and the sort of moron who doesn't wear a seatbelt clearly isn't thinking ahead in the first place.

My car knows whether or not I'm wearing a seatbelt. It knows if my passengers are too.
It wouldn't be hard for insurance companies to track who does and who doesn't. I can look at my gas mileage info online right now because my car uploads it. It could easily upload seatbelt usage info as well.

Ironically, the people riding in the car with that guy who did wear their seat belts survived...

If you don't like the intrusion then just pay full price for your insurance. Why would I fear having some insurance company learn that I always wear my seatbelt? I'm not sure how that's a "huge" intrusion. It's information I want them to have because it will earn me a discount.

Accident investigations always determine seat belt status.
