let's not turn this into your personal quest for self empowerment over the internet. I am just curious as to what others have experienced

Honestly what do you want from us? Why not ask the people who wrote the bill.. call the number on the ticket or the local PD and ask them.

And wear your seat belt... not only is it safer, and the law...
Its just better. I remember once my mom was being a mom and making sure I always wear my seat belt. I basically told her if anything I want more seatbelt, like a harness... Stock seats do a bad enough job of holding you still with out getting rid of the belt too.

BTW, did you SN used to be loveless?

Exactly. I can't stand driving without a seatbelt on. It bothers me so much that, yes, I am perfect and always use it. Unless I'm on some horrible rough dirt road that causes it to lock up too much.

I would call the local PD and find out why.

After that short trip I noticed everyone in our van went back to wearing them all the time. They are not that inconvenient.

I even like when mine locks, other then when I have to reach something. The car just feels better when you are strapped into it.

Seriously though, they just instituted the seatbelt thing here in florida.

I think they said it's like $20, but up to $150 including court costs. I dunno..

Call the court house or whatever number is on the ticket.

Freedoms lost are seldom restored.

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have" Thomas Jefferson

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." Cesare Beccaria, 1767 (Later quoted by Thomas Jefferson)

Also there are tons of commercials for the legal limit of Blood alcohol content
saying Over the limit, under arrest. However, in the real world you can go down for being the legal limit. .08 while driving=under arrest
Isn't this kinda of wrong?

DAAAMMMNNNN YYYYOOOUUUU..

Just because it's a law, doesn't make it right. The state doesn't have to threaten me with a $120+ ticket for me to realize that not wearing my seat
belt is dangerous(for me). I wear my seat belt because I want to, not because I have to.

Besides, read whats around those words and realize that my whole point was that it being the law is definitely not the only reason.

No not really. It does open the door for some potential abuse but that is supposed to be what the courts are their for.

BAC is just how much alcohol is in your blood, not how drunk you are. The guys who write the laws found .08 to be where most people are starting to become a danger, but what if some light weight little girl is obviously drunk but under the limit? Just let her go drive drunk because the number wasn't right?

My ticket for not wearing a seat belt was $80. It was total BS though because I always wear a seat belt. It's programmed into me so well, that I'll even put it on when knowing my sole purpose of hopping into the car is to get laid.

I don't care and it doesn't matter, go cry to the libertarian party...

Philosophize as much as you want, then come back to reality where your ticket will be waiting. The law is the law. Follow it, break it and stop b****ing about the consequence, move somewhere else or doing something more productive about it then b****ing on the internet.

So tired of people breaking laws that they know about, then complaining on the internet because of how it should be.

Actually, I cant even remember a time when I didn't wear one. Ive made it a habit... I dont even think about it anymore.

I mean, If an officer needs to generate revenue couldn't he pull over anyone and claim they weren't wearing their seatbelt. It's the officer's word against your's, and the officer's would is usually accepted.

I know when I was stupid enough not to wear my seat belt, when I got pulled over for speeding I slipped it on quickly. If the officer comes to the window and you are wearing your seatbelt how can the officer still write you a ticket for no seatbelt?

Just hoping there isn't any abuse

I know guys who hate seatbelts passionately and will do all manner of awkward things to make it appear that they are wearing the belt when they're not (sit on it, pull it across but not buckle it...all of which beg the question...if you're bothering with that, why not just wear the damn thing anyway?)

It is a bit pricey given the offense, but it's surprising that it takes a law to get people to excercise common sense. But what really strikes me odd that there are states that will ticket automobile drivers without seatbelts yet don't require motorcyclists to wear crash helmets, which seems more dangerous. I won't name names but one state that does that begins with the letter PENNSYLVANIA.

hey mod...i just got pulled over a couple days ago for no belt but my problem was that my should belt is an automatic track sliding bastard that is broken but i still was wearing my lap belt...he still gave me a ticket for no belt! what gives?

Oooo, somebody got a little, butt hurt. We get it bro, you love the "law".

i bit my tongue on that one. my e-penor is in retirement.
