I do always wear a seatbelt on public roads.

I have a perfect driving record for about 15 years - it's nice, it would be senseless to jeopardize that for a seat belt.
Huh? Getting a ticket for not having a seatbelt on does nothing to your insurance rates, it just shows up on the MV report as an equipment violation and for such there is no points either.
