    Not wearing a seatbelt is a traffic violation and not a crime.

      Being pedantic doesn’t refute my comparison, that’s how comparisons work

        It’s a wrong comparison because you’re implying a traffic violation is a criminal offense, but it’s not. A traffic violation is a civil infraction. You can’t put them under the same umbrella without making it sound dystopian.
