Oh, you are so right. Not wearing a seat belt is just as bad as drinking while driving.
Someone who drinks while intoxicated is a danger, not only to themselves but to others. Their abaility to drive is impaired and the risk of being involved in an accident goes up. Also someone being distracted, talking on a phone or texting, is also impaired while they are trying to drive. However, how is one impaired not wearing their seat belt. The risk of being involved in an accident is the same, weather or not the driver is wearing their seat belt.
