That doesn't mean it can happen at X% probability to everyone. Seatbelts on modern cars, of course, have warning lights and beepers. I never put my belt on before turning the car on, but I never take a trip without it. It's not really a matter of memory, because if I found myself driving without a seatbelt and no memory of how it happened, I'm still conditioned to feel naked.

I wonder if there are really a lot of people who are sensitive to the risk of a fine but not the risk of injury or death.

A popular accessory in some countries is a seat-belt "buckle" without the belt. You use it to silence the "seat belt unfastened" beepers.
