I understood you quite well.

seat belts do not require a bigger car engine and compile time safety 
features do not add any overhead to run-time execution.

seat belts *ARE* enforced. they are required by law and you get a hefty 
fine if you violate this.

also, seat belts save lives and are used by regular drivers and car racers.
