The statistics I heard for seatbelts are that 10% of all those people
riding around wear them. Pretty sad. 
A big plus that no one else seemed to mention is that seatbelts keep
you in your seat when driving so if you have to make any emergency
manuevers you're not all over the place. You ever try driving while
you are being thrown into the passenger seat? With seatbelts you
remain relatively stable in the driver's seat.
I personally wear seatbelts all the time and would be very upset is
(that's if; sorry) I were forced into paying for airbags because
the gov't feels it has to protect all those people who would rather
go through the windshield than wear seatbelts. I'm darn sick of paying
for other people's stupidity.
