Why don't they make a commerical that shows Laws of motion by Isaac Newton to imform people the importance of wearing their seat belts?Like it would help..

It's the law. Everybody learns that at driving school.
If someone is as dumb to not wear a seat belt ... then it's his choice. If he crashes he dies. If the police stops him he pays. And if you ask him why he won't wear the belt then some dumb story like "I can jump out of the car if an accident is about to happen. That saved my (or some friends) life once ... blabla" will pop out of his empty head.
Honestly: there are so many people on this planet, let those who want to die do so. It's their life, not yours

Or that many people who don't realise that when a moving vehicle comes to a halt, the passengers keep moving forward?

Powerglide 'em. If they want to head through the windshiled to thier demise that's their fault. They were warned.

Thing is in the UK we have ads like this one...
and MUCH WORSE, but peeps still dont listen. The main issue with wearing seatbelts is twofold, 1) Their comfort, even in Rollers the seatbelt is horrendously uncomfortable, 2) Image, you may think it makes you look a dork wearing one, cool types dont wear belts belts are for wimps.
Companies need to make more comfortable belts, People need to take responsibility for safety and sacrifice their "image".

I was one of those 'seatbelts are waay too uncomfortable for me to wear one' types until the day that I was in a car accident not wearing a seatbelt, I was fast enought that when i first felt the car slide sideways to try and put the belt on but as the seatbelt tensioner had kicked in (due to me pulling it too fast) i had to wrap my arm in it and brace myself against the dashboard..
Suffice to say we hit the crash barrier at nearly 60mph and if the car hat hit at a slightly different angle i would have surely been a nasty stain to clear up the next day, Since then i even put my seatbelt on if I am turning my car around in my drive.. (and I'm now a massive nag to those who dont wear a seatbelt.)

I'm actually friends with a medical examiner, and apparently due to shatter proof windscreens, more people who get vaulted forward end up getting decapitated than flying through it. Their head punches a hole in the glass, but it's flexible and shatter resistant enough that it flexes and absorbs the impact so their shoulders don't go through. Then gravity pulls your body down on a row of razor sharp glass, and you're suddenly about a foot shorter than you were before.
Just an FYI for people who value looking cool before respect for conservation of momentum.
