Read the following paragraph from an essay supporting stricter enforcement of seatbelt laws:
Seatbelt laws are in place for good reason - the government has a compelling interest in making driving
safer. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (2017), every year 25,000 Americans
die and 2.5 million more are injured in motor vehicle crashes. These accidents cost nearly $50 billion dollars in
medical care and lost wages annually. It's true that seatbelt laws interfere with individual freedom. However, the
costs of accidents are passed along to everyone who pays taxes, buys health insurance, or purchases goods and
services. Traffic accidents, injuries, and deaths are a financial and emotional burden on all of society.
