A California Senator speaks into a mic at a hearing about the proposed "Mandatory Seat Belt Bill". He introduces the bill and explains it. Seat belts are presently installed in all vehicles since 1965 but only used by 20% of the people in California. If the law is adopted, based on other states, it is predicted that the usage will be increased by 50% meaning a 70% usage which would save about 1,000 lives a year and curtail serious injuries. People are seen walking past him around the room as he speaks.

Senator Carpenter is next and stands with a mic and states the many reasons to vote for the bill, but ultimately is a No vote and he states the reason.
