I believe he is saying that fools, who are unable to judge when to wear a seat belt, should just follow the rules, whereas "wise men" who understand the risks will (a) wear them even without rules, when appropriate and (b) will not wear them, again when judgement overrides the rule; thus the rule "guides" the wise.
