There are some 3rd party batteries that don't, by your own

(And I am not even talking about falsely labelled capacities and

In my part of the world, seatbelts are not considered optional
by the law (nor by almost all people), even if most, nay, almost
all car uses do not include accidents.

And the part about accidents is proven by statistics, even the
government statistics bureau and the politicans freely says so.

All this must be a ploy to force people to wear seatbelts without
any need, right?

3 dozen old men who were heavy smokers all of their life. See,
smoking doesn't affect your health."
