You just disproved every NHTSA case study ever made over the last 35 years. All those tax dollars wasted. I think I'll stop wearing my seatbelt now.

Oh sweet, that means if I don't wear a seatbelt with the top down, when I accelerate with my massive 140 hp I'll go flying out the back of the car! I'm gonna try it right now!

If you don't believe me, go try it then shoot yourself.
Very nice. And what if you get rear ended, say, or if your get T-boned. Does the license plate continue forward into the windshield then?

With you in the car you must have only like 1HP per 22 pounds.

You get rear ended and the plate goes towards the windsheild. T-boned it will go towards the same side as the impact... Its not hard people. Its not like it will even hurt you if somehow it does defy all gravitational laws and does hit you.
