When the car stops, the person continues forward, st the same speed thst the car was travelling at. Into the dash, into the windscreen, maybe even THROUGH the windscreen and onto the road. Beat up, cut up and run over - not a good thing.

As inertia is a tendency to do nothing, not wearing a seat belt (in a stationary vehicle?) will have little affect. Only if the vehicle is moving and suddenly stop, does wearing a seat belt become essential.
It keeps them from being ejected from the vehicle.
In physics, inertia means that though the car is brought to a sudden stop, the person inside will continue in a forward motion. A seat belt would restrain the person's forward movement and prevent the person being injured by the dashboard, or by being thrown through the windscreen. Air-bags are used in modern cars to also cushion against the effect of inertia.
Yes and No. Typically, only moving violations can add points to your license. However, not wearing a seat can get you seriously injured or killed. Buckle up; somebody out there loves you.
Air resistance, gravity, friction with the ground, and the impact force from a collision with another object are all forces that can affect the motion of a ball.
No, velocity does not affect an object's inertia. Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, regardless of its velocity.
Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
Force does not affect inertia in general. Inertia can basically be identified with the mass.
Inertia varies depending on an object's mass. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia. The shape and size of an object can also affect its inertia.

In a collision you could be thrown forward and get "crowned" by the windshield. I saw many "crownings" as a kid! The head breaks through the glass then the body rebounds and the safety glass clamps around the head, it gets very bloody and some people even get partially "scalped". You are stuck until someone breaks away the rest of the windshield!
