    i got a seatbelt ticket today, what a fucking joke!

    this law is the dumbest fucking law in the so called "land of the fucking free"

    this is something to save YOUR life, so you SHOULD wear it, but it shouldnt be a law

    this is so retarded, it's the 2nd seatbelt ticket i've gotten and i will keep getting them and i will keep telling the cop giving me the ticket that he is petty

          just wait
          one day you wont be wearing your seatbelt and you will get a wreck and you will be the one flying out the window while the other person will come out with just scratchs

          not putting your seatbelt on really worth risking your life?

              I wish they would recind the seatbelt and helmut laws but if you were injured w/o wearing one or the other, the government didn't have to pay any portion ever of your medical care.

                  you make a valid point.


                  but it is NOT the governments place to regulate this.

                      Bodies flying around inside cars kill people.

                      Get over yourself, the law is meant to save people, not specifically just to piss you off.

                          no, the law is meant to increase revenue.

                                  I think it should be enforced. You could lose more control of your vehicle without one in certian cases.

                                      its the not the goverments place to say you cant beat the shit out of your wife

                                      but they do it.....

                                      This could go on for hours

                                      It is proven that ever sence they have put the seat belt law into effect in many states deaths in crashes have gone DOWN.


                                      They are not doing this to put extra money in the pockets of anyone

                                      They are doing this to protect you and YOUR family.

                                          I heard they now have a new UV device that can tell if the driver is wearing his seatbelt or not. Could get interesting.

                                              i think it
                                              1. is to make more easy money for gov
                                              and
                                              2. is to protect yourself

                                              BUT 3. is against our rights as a free country

                                              for example, smoking in restaurants should be illegal because it hurts other people, for all i know it is rare that person without seatbelt hurts other people besides himself
                                              If you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of.

                                                  beating your wife, that is apples to orange. there you are directly effecting the well being of another person.

                                                  and yes it is for money. dead and injured people can't work and pay taxes. if they are so concerned about safety why did the motorcycle helmet law get repealed in my state at the same time?

                                                  and no this is not to protect me and my family don't give me that bullshit. my family is smart enough to wear seatbelts, we don't need big brother breathing down our necks.

                                                              its worthless trying to try to even get you to realize why they do it.

                                                              So this is my last message in this thread


                                                              The day you are effected by a car wreck where a seatbelt could of made all the diffrence then you can bitch and moan about the 100 dollar ticket you get for not strapping a simple seat belt on.


                                                              You are the type of person that needs to be drug to the scence of an accident wher ethe driver or passenger was not wearing a seat belt

                                                              you need a reality check


                                                              and if you honestly belive it is againts your rights as being an ameican in this country THEN GO TO THE FUCKING GOVERMENT or move OUT.....

                                                                              What if you we hit hard from behind and smashed yourself against the steering wheel and got knocked out or something? When you get hit, you can still control your vehicle to some degree.

                                                                              If you had your belt on and didnt get knocked out, perhaps you could of steered the vehicle to the shoulder instead of hitting what was in front of you.

                                                                              In the end, it's just smarter and safer. Anyone who doesn't wear their belt is an idiot. When you get into your first major car accident and go flying against the windshield, you'll realize this.

                                                                                      The day you are effected by a car wreck where a seatbelt could of made all the diffrence then you can bitch and moan about the 100 dollar ticket you get for not strapping a simple seat belt on.


                                                                                      You are the type of person that needs to be drug to the scence of an accident wher ethe driver or passenger was not wearing a seat belt

                                                                                      you need a reality check


                                                                                      and if you honestly belive it is againts your rights as being an ameican in this country THEN GO TO THE FUCKING GOVERMENT or move OUT.....


                                                                                      Wake up - stop being selfish

                                                                                      first off i have had many friends that died because they did not wear seatbelts. and they are fucking morons. there end of story.

                                                                                      that is their responsibility.

                                                                                      listen to what you are "wake up and sotp being selfish". you're just being silly. this has nothing to do with being selfish. how could you even construe that?

                                                                                      here's a though. if you die because you are stupid and didn't wear your seatbelt, then the herd is being thinned, and smarter people who wear safety belts will survive to procreate.

                                                                                      besides, we all know how well making laws to tell people not to do things works.

                                                                                      just look at how successful that was with drugs.

                                                                                      the government outlawed them, so they all went away.

You have then made a vehicle that would likely harm no one else into a weapon of mass destruction.

                                                                                                  Does smack mean you are on heroin?

                                                                                                  i already explained how it increases revenue. it is especially apperent in my state where they repealed the motorocycle helmet law at the same time the national seatbelt law went into effect.

                                                                                                  not as many people ride bikes, thus the money produced off tickets did not justify the manpower used to enforce. they realized the manpower would be better spent enforcing the new federal law which will undoubtly bring them more money. just look at the ratios of cars to bikes one the road.

                                                                                                  it's just a logical conclusion.

                                                                                                  and no i am not on heroin. my handle is a really old inside joke.

You have then made a vehicle that would likely harm no one else into a weapon of mass destruction.

                                                                                                          what the fuck are you talking about? if you are in a wreck that is severe enough to throw you from the car, you are NOT controlling any aspect of that vehicle.

                                                                                                          i think you're the one on heroin.

                                                                                                                          My buddy was driving home from my house and had a head-on collision with another car. They were both doing about 30. He would have been dead or paralyzed if he wasn't wearing his seatbelt, and that's not bullshit. He said it hurt a bit (seatbelt against body during the collision) but what's worse? He walked away from it.

Any accident can injure you to the point in which you lose control of the vehicle entirely. Wearing your seatbelt simply increases your chance for safety and by doing so increases your chances of being able to control the vehicle.

                                                                                                                                          actually, it is. Because you are costing $ to insurance companies and potentially the government for fees that could result from injuries from being stupid and not wearing your seatbelt. Also, what if you had a head-on collision, flew out your windshield and killed the driver in the other car by slamming through his window and into him?

Any accident can injure you to the point in which you lose control of the vehicle entirely. Wearing your seatbelt simply increases your chance for safety and by doing so increases your chances of being able to control the vehicle.

                                                                                                                                                          His example may be an extreme, but it is completely applicable to every fender bender that occurs.

                                                                                                                                                          he said 'high speed collision'. so that is what i responded too. now you have MAY a point.

                                                                                                                                                          still i don't think it is up to the government to legislate that.

                                                                                                                                                              if i deserve the priveledge to drive i feel that i should deserve the right to make my own decisions on whether i wear a seatbelt or not

                                                                                                                                                              Using that logic you should have the right to go as fast as you wish, drive while intoxicated, pass on the right, drive on the left side of the road, use bare tires, . . .

No where does it say you have the right to drive, let alone drive however you want.

                                                                                                                                                                  If it is a privilage to drive and is given to you by the state, they can sure as hell restrict your privilages however they see fit.

                                                                                                                                                                  Buckle up. It saves lives and might even save yours.

                                                                                                                                                                                  still i don't think it is up to the government to legislate that.

                                                                                                                                                                                  and of course it makes me a fucking idiot because i refuted his statement?

                                                                                                                                                                                          am i just misunderstanding what you are trying to say because it is not logical.

                                                                                                                                                                                          basically what you are telling me is that if you are in a high speed wreck and you have your seatbelt on to remain in the car, that you will somehow be able to steer and operate the brakes? even though most likely the entire engine/steering/braking systems would be crushed?

This is GFY, i guess i automatically start many sentences by saying that...

                                                                                                                                                                                              the point is, people not wearing their seatbelts cost society money for many reasons.... (higher costs in an accident, etc...)

                                                                                                                                                                                              no worries, gfy can lead one to anger quickly.

                                                                                                                                                                                              i definately agree with you about accident costs, perhaps that is something that insurance companies should address in their policy though?

                                                                                                                                                                                              if you are in a wreck, and you are not wearing your seatbelt, maybe your injuries shouldn't be covered because you are assuming a higher risk?

                                                                                                                                                                                              i just don't like more laws. we have far to many already, and many of those are poorly written.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  your point is still invalid though. going at a high rate of speed and hitting anything with enough force to potentially fling your body through a glass windshieild does not imply any kind of control after the point of impact.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  most people in high speed collisions (head on with a car, wall, army of midgets), are usually rendered unconscious by the force of the impact anyways, rendering them unable to control their vehicle anyways.
