they claim they're trying to save lives. ask yourself this: why do 4 million children ride in a school bus twice per day with no seat belt? saving lives comes in second, once again, to revenue.

well if a bus got in a crash i wouldnt be so worried about the ppl in the bus but more so the the ppl in the other car.

But hey i wouldnt complain if bus's get seat belts

I hate the click it or ticket deal in general. It Kills me that our state is wasting our tax dollars fighting a victim less crime when they should be spending that money on improving state roads and highways

EDIT: Wait is Click it or ticket a country wide thing? I thought that california was the only stupid state pushing that bullshit on us.

i get the concept of the law, it keeps you safer in your car than not wearing one. but what i dont like is someone telling me i HAVE to wear it when its something that will only effect me by not wearing it. dont protect me from myself. if that were the case i wouldnt be able to smoke, drink, eat fatty foods etc.

when i hear a story of someone flying out of their car and killing someone else, then i will wear it!!!!!

i realize they save lives, but i'm risking my own, and noone elses. my choice, not the governments.

they could only ticket you for your seatbelt if they pulled you over for something else. they just passed it into law in florida where a cop can pull you over with no other reason and ticket you for not wearing one i believe these last few weeks/months.

when i got in my accident..the only thing saving my life was NOT wearing one. telephone pole literally halfway through the drivers SEAT right smack in the middle of the driver door, EXACTLY where my head would have been. seatbelt would have tightened, wouldnt have been able to move to the other side of the truck. head would be cracked into oblivion.

same in ma, they can give you a ticket if they pull you over for something else but not just for that.. only a matter of time before they pass that though.

remember driving is a privilege not a right!

That is the exception rather than the rule. Seatbelts save lives, that is not a myth. But hey if you want to spread that myth around, that it is better to not wear seatbelts, be my guest - and have fun in hell. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
