It's not an externality if it's in the same car.

If you are a driver, and you want people in the back to wear a seatbelt, just ask them to wear a seatbelt. Duh.

> I don't know if you just hate seatbelts [...]

Why would I hate seatbelts? I wear them all the time, whenever I have to take a car. I just don't buy the usual justification for forcing other people to wear seatbelts (or have AM radios..)

> [...] and I'm glad most people have accepted that the inconvenience of wearing them is pretty negligible now.

I'm all for people wearing seatbelts, too. Just like I'm in favour of people eating their vegetables and flossing their teeth. Voluntarily.
