y2kbanshee9187 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 We have had that law for 10 + years in Ohio.I don't think they really enforce it.Rather than pull you over for no seatbelt,they will find other citeable violations to pull you over for.(like no front plate,obstructed rear plate,failure to signal when changing lanes etc.) Then they throw you the line...Well,I'm gonna let you go on this petty violation,but I'm gonna have to give you a ticket for a seatbelt.You won't get any points,but you'll have to pay a 75 dollar fine. They make it sound like there doing you a F*cking favor.I have great respect for the law,if for no law,the roads would be a white line nightmare,like in The Road Warrior.Actually that would be ok too. 371118[/snapback] Yea, and the front license plate law is bullshit, people wonder why we are in debt......

banshee0044 Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 i wear my seatbelt all of the time..im just used to it however, my dad is a big man and the seat belt does no quite "fit" him..last time he was pulled over he made a few good points to the officer : "i dont understand why i have to wear it when i just saw three motorcycists flying by with no helmets on and if they got into an acciden at that speed..think of how far they could fly.." also.."and do you see my big ass flying through this little windsheild".. honestly id like him to wear it but it just isnt comfortable for him and i think that it should be the drivers/passengers choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheefreak Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 seatbelts suck... i'll take my chances to get throw out and killed instantly then to be trapped in there with a belt on and be burned alive... i drive a lowboy truck and i am in and out all the time i don't wear mine and i have got a ticket once. but most of the time i get stopped by dot they say put it on before you leave i put it on leave and then take it back off... but since i am a trucker i do get pulled over all the time for no reason .. when they walk up and ask did you have a seatbelt on i say no... i think they like my honesty...
