Yes! They have signs and announcements in Australia reminding people to always hold onto their strollers, I think this one incident will do more good than all the notices in making people actually do so.
I do think that mandatory belts are by far the best idea; most of the countries I have lived in have similar laws and they very simply save lives. But yes, I have had people (usually men) insist it is an insult to buckle up, too, and I suspect your response is the one I will use from now on!
That commercial is beautiful and eloquent, who needs a better reason?
