I'd much rather have the other occupants of the vehicle I'm driving wear their seat belts, lap belt and all. Better they stay in the same position of sitting than be flying all around the interior of the car injuring everyone else and possibly through the window(s) hurting someone else outside of the vehicle.
Yes, it sucks that you got a ticket. Totally agree.
But if a seat belt helps save money, lives, and insurance costs, just wear it. And hell, with the 1Gs you're halfway there since the car does it for you!
