You should've talked to me. They are something of a specialty of mine. You even included "tightly enforcing" in your opening sentence. My first thought when I read your title was "Seat Belt Law Holding Back St Louis," but we could add something about tighter enforcement to increase pun-osity. I think the $3 mil/human life figure that I quoted you reflects the external cost of losing a loved one(it accounts for the exorbitant amounts people are willing to pay for one additional year spent with an economically unproductive loved one[an "irrational" behavior I'm definitely not above]). Good post, you could've added something about the moral hazzard of seat belt laws, how people actually *do* drive more recklessly when they've a seat belt on. Couldn’t think of a pun?
