Wow, calm down. I wear my seatbelt most of the time. That wasn't really the point of the post, however. The point is that they are wasting their time with this when there are many other better things they could be doing. I don't mind getting a ticket and I won't fight it. [/ QUOTE ] I really can't see any more effective way to reduce traffic deaths than to actively fine this. If you crash the wearing seatbelt or not is relatively more important than your speed; in preventing your death. |

[/ QUOTE ] It was probably just a "blitz" where they had officers out checking *specifically* for people not wearing their seatbelts. Normally they wouldn't have taken the time and manpower to check for such a thing. They have "blitzes" all the time where I live...every time for something different that they can nail a good number of people for. It's basically a tax grab. That being said, not wearing your seatbelt is pretty stupid. |

[/ QUOTE ] I guess the way I look at it is that if I want to be a moron by not wearing a seatbelt, I am only hurting myself. However, people who excessively speed and drive dangerously are harming others. That is where I would rather the police focus their energies. |

Good. You can share your opinion on the necessity of wearing a seat belt without being a little bitch. [/ QUOTE ] How? I am pretty sure that nagging of this nature requires a great deal of bitchiness. |

Don't you have to put up with an annoying beep telling you to wear your seatbelt? Or is that just my car?

[/ QUOTE ] You are right, it doesn't, and I did mention that I agree with what you said. But still. Man. C'mon. It cannot take you more than two seconds to buckle your seat belt, and it could potentially save your life. I am just baffled here. |
