When the laws were first passed in the mid 80s in NY, there were still quite a few cars on the road that didn't have them. They used to be an option when buying a car. So those drivers got a pass.
I always hated them. I never wore mine in my old truck. In my new truck I wear it out of habit. I can't really argue that they're a bad idea. I just didn't like being told that I had to.
And as you say...they're a pain in the ass in the winter.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Seat belts in cars and aircraft are generally a good idea. They are the cheapest and most effective means of protecting yourself in an accident in these vehicles.
They are useless on a bus. The mass of the bus is your best protection.
They are useless on a boat. They can be dangerous at sea, due to corrosion and inability to release if you are underwater.
In a jet, wear your seat belt at all times while you are seated. Clear air turbulence can be quite unexpected, sudden, and violent. Landing and taking off are also times that a seat belt can help save you in the event of an accident during these maneuvers.
Some cars (and some aircraft!) install belts that are too short. Get longer ones installed. It's worth it.
Should they be required by law? You do have to follow the orders of the crew on a jet. They have all the legal authority they need to require seatbelt use.
For your own car? YOU are the 'captain' of that car. You decide what you want to do, not the government.
