abstract="Not only has the seat belt law failed to achieve the life-saving benefits claimed for it, and produced an unfair re-distribution of risk on the road, it has set a dangerous precedent. In criminalizing self-risk it has established a dangerous, liberty-threatening, principle that licenses the state to proscribe any thing or activity of which it might disapprove -- from rock-climbing, to drinking and smoking, to eating too many cream buns.   <p>The author argues that the seat belt requirement is a bad law. &quot;It is based on a dangerous liberty-threatening principle. It hasn't worked. It is unfair. It should be repealed.&quot;</p>  <p>John Adams is an Emeritus Professor of Geography at University College London and noted libertarian essayist.</p>",
