$140 No-Seat Belt Ticket?

Tell your wife to wear her damn seat belt!

Your pimp hand must be weak my friend

He's onto something.

Stop breaking the damn law!

yeah and compared to a 241 failure to dim headlights ticket, i would be happy with the 140.

How does one get one of these? Better yet, how do you avoid not getting such a violation?

The seat belt law is bullshit and nothing more than a cash grab. It's a requirement to wear a seat belt, yet millions of kids ride the bus every single day without one and motorcycle riders don't even have to wear helmets...

If you're willing to risk your life by not wearing one, so be it.

I used to get a seat belt ticket every time I got pulled over. After enough of them, they finally beat me into submission and I wear it 99.9% of the time now.

Congrats for getting caught by a nanny law!

A seat belt to me is a must. I've never understood the people that bitch about wearing them or getting fined for not wearing them.

My mother was blind sided by a drunk driver when I was 6. He T-boned her in the driver front fender and door and spun her across the intersection and into a parking lot. At the hospital the next day, she joked with the officers taking her statement (guy bounced off her car, unconscious, and rolled into a few other stopped people) that she never wore a seat belt and she was pissed that it broke a couple of her ribs. She had just started using it recently because the chime in her new Mercedes drove her nuts. Accident investigator said that if she hadn't been wearing her seat belt she more than likely would have been ejected from the car.

I don't understand not wearing a seatbelt. I feel naked when driving without one. That said, I don't think it should be a law for adults. Under 18 maybe, adults no.

On the flip side of this, my aunt was trapped upside down in a Jeep after a low speed rollover accident, on a country back road for days before anyone found her. Had she not been wearing her seatbelt, she wouldn't have been trapped.

Agreed!

I pay for my car, insurance, and registration as well as maintaining my vehicle so it's meets all these damn laws. I should have the choice to wear my seat belt without having to worry about a fine.

yep, I am too old to rebel against stupid shit.

[Wicked98Snake]

When I was younger I was like man fuck the damn POPO they can't make me wear a seatbelt! Then I was in an accident and smacked my head on the a pillar in my mustang at the time, had a concussion and felt jacked up for like a week. I wear my seatbelt now!

BTW, I was in one accident without a seatbelt. Fortunately I didn't get seriously hurt. My ex wife was driving and we had just left our apartment complex. I just hadn't put it on yet because I was looking at something. The very first intersection we get to she runs the redlight and t-bones someone. Fortunately neither us nor the woman we hit was moving too fast, but it did throw me forward, my head hitting the visor and breaking the mirror. Had we been going the speed limit I would have gotten fucked up.

So you're ok with the risk of ending up as a vegetable because you refused to put on something that could greatly reduce that risk? Say hi to your windshield for me.

Personally I dont feel comfortable not wearing my seatbelt but a friend I grew up with wrecked his truck one night and if he had been wearing a seatbelt he would of died and been crushed inside of his truck. Beings he wasnt wearing his seatbelt he was tossed out of the window and is no paralyzed from the waist down, but he is still alive and well.

[Captain Crawfish]

honestly its a good ticket to get. your wfe NEEDS to wear her seatbelt at all times when driving. ive seen way too many people die out on the roads and no reason not to wear it. good driver or not there are way too many bad drivers out there that make up for it. it may not keep you from dying but it will keep you in the seat
