ticket for no seatbelt 27315

[Otto.]

Right, I am sure you're perfect and have always worn seatbelt,

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.

[PoorManQ45]

Question: How do you prove you were wearing your seatbelt?

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

[MinisterofDOOM]

Every officer I've ever heard comment on that question has said that they can usually see when you put your seatbelt on after they've stopped you. I'm sure it varies depending on the design (stupid GM on-the-seat shoulder belts are probably easier to hide...and I imagine you could stealthily put on your lap belt if you're in a car with power shoulder belts).

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?)

I got a 27315 (d) (i) vc for no seatbelt

however I received the fine and it was 132$

what's up with this?

it shoudl be no more than 20$ for the 1st offense

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.

mark (tigerse-r) got a ticket on his bike for not having his visor down. he had something in his eye, flipped it up to handle it and got pulled over before he got a chance to flip it down. what kind of bs is that? how about all the guys that cruise around without a full face helmet or no helmet at all? i never see or hear about them getting their balls broken.

[DrifterXRPS13]

in illinois all you have to have is eye protection for riding...and when your wearing a helmet they really dont' care if you have your visor down or not...i've ridden by cops all the time with my visor up when i'm just cruising around town

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?

[numbnuts240]

you're a person of color driving an integra, what more reason did you need

[ScrapMetal]

OOHHHH THATS HIS POINT!

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.

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

[numbnuts240]

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

[ScrapMetal]

I need to learn from you Tito .

[numbnuts240]

lesson number one, young grasshopper: stick it to the man

[ScrapMetal]

stick it to the man

Damn straight.

I don't know what that thing in your sig is, but it looks fun and delicious.

Makes sense. I'm just used to my car with limo tint.

If I see an officer even change lanes behind me the belt would go on

Now I just wear it everywhere.

My other question, How do you contest a ticket if you truely were wearing your seatbelt and the officer made a mistake? It seems that this is one of those things wear if you're accused you're guilty

[numbnuts240]

I don't know what that thing in your sig is, but it looks fun and delicious.

well, according to Beancooker, it's a caramel corn encrusted dildo. do you still think it looks fun and delicious?

[ScrapMetal]

Well It still looks delicious, and it could be fun if I had a more open mind.

[numbnuts240]

hahaahhahhah

[DrifterXRPS13]

You suck at reading comprehension.

A lot.

[Koshin]

it sounds like a few of you are getting but hurt....lol

the law is the law...if you dont want to wear your seatbelt, deal with the consequences...

[flohtingPoint]

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.

Same, I cant even turn the motor over w/out my seatbelt on, even in the Corolla where I have to hook up all 5 points of my harness. Something feels wrong if I dont wear it.

[Red coupe]

Something feels wrong if I dont wear it.

I just like to be ready for spontaneous hoonage.

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?

my local Nissan dealership informed me that the automatic seatbelts in my 240 are under a lifetime warranty, cos its a safety issue. Go visit your dealer and see what they say.

[DrifterXRPS13]

Yea this was in my integra and acura has the same lifetime warrant for the same reason...i just have to call and make an appointment...i was just mad because he saw i was wearing a belt but not my shoulder belt...oh well..just have to get it fixed and then fight it in court.

[EpicNightMayor]

I'll admit, I've been driving my mustang around since my 240's motor blew, and since it's not automatic, a lot of times I forget about it. I quickly notice when I check my speed, seatbelts of everyone in the car whenever I see a cop.
