Does there exist a single incident like this?

Just playing devils advocate, but I know people who won't drive a car without making sure everyone has their seat belt on.

Alright, you got me. Now imagine you being the only person in the car and try again.

Seat belts help you stay in control of the car in the event of a collision. If you're the only person on the road, you might have a point.
