Not withstanding that children have a tendancy to catapult out of adult seatbelts, i think this is why childrens booster seat where introduced.So children bounce around inside the car more when they're belted than when they aren't? I don't think so.
This means nothing without any explanation of what it relates to, and what its relevance is supposed to be.

Because given a seatbelt drivers according to you start being more reckless. Or do reckless drivers not cause road deaths?Again:
The difference in behaviour required to negate the benefit of seatbelts is one death in 200,000,000 km, that's too small for any individual to detect without statistical analysis. Whether you choose to call it reckless is irrelevant, but by the OED definition of reckless, it's not.
This just falls on deaf ears, doesn't it.
You are just playing games with words, describing it as reckless knowing that people won't perceive it as such, and hoping that they'll conclude from that that you have successfully refuted the argument, and that if they can't see behaviour change with their own eyes it doesn't exist.
