Could I get a ticket for this?

[D1SR240]

I live in illinois, and one of the many laws here is the click it or ticket law, which means if you don't got your seatbelt on it's a 75 dollar fine. Well as most of you know the S13 has the automatic seatbelts, but it also has the lap belt, i never put the lap belt on just the automatic shoulder belt, if a cop pulled me over and seen that i didn't have the lap belt on could he give me a ticket?

Yes they can.And don't ever use the top belt w/o the lap belt unless you really feel like being decapitated...

How about when the auto belt goes over your head you are reminded to put on your lap belt. Thats why I love auto belts, they remind me to put on my lap belt.

If you are really worried about getting a ticket for that, then just put your seatbelt on when you get pulled over if you don't have it on already.

The decapiation threat really will scare you into putting on your belt though...

when i first got my license, i looked to the pro's for guidance on how to drive,,,,,,, professional race car drivers. they ALL wear seat belts, of course, figured if they do, i should do. watched a womens brains drain out of her head after she was thrown out of her ford and into a curb, because she wasn't wearing her seatbelt! would have walked away otherwise!

the lap belt keeps you in place during a roll over. it's fine to drive without it around two, but highway driving you need it. before some anal monkies jump on my arse..wear it all the time.

yep. nasty stuff can happen to people who dont wear their seatbelt. usually when you walk up to a MVA (motor vehicle accident), you dont even have to ask if the people were wearing seatbelts, it's that obvious.

definately much easier and safer to just wear the seatbelt. If you are concerned at all about your health or the ticket this should be a non-issue. It's not much hassle to put on a poossibly life-saving seatbelt.
