Got pulled over today!
Got pulled over in the DD (93 3.1L Corsica 176,XXX miles and 28.2mpg) Reason for the stop was no seat belts for the passenger and myself! (Click it or ticket law) Cop was really cool and let me off with a warning that saved me $70 ($10 ticket for myself and $60 ticket for having a unbelted passenger ) Being a former MP = Military Police, I addressed him as "Sir" and was very polite and it payed off big time He ran my license, found it to be in good standing, told me to buckle up and let me on my way. He was very professional and it was a good stop and a good outcome
SHORT STORY: Got pulled over, I was cool with cop, cop was cool with me!┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐
Man: The Mods you are fighting,
they are the biggest Men I have ever seen. I
wouldn't want to fight them!
Me: That is why no one will remember your name!

A ticket will be the last your worries if your vehicle rolls.

You can rationalize it all you want.
The last time I was in an accident, I was going less than 5mph, and had I not been wearing my seatbelt, I could have been greatly injured.
Did you see the video posted in another thread, where the driver of a yellow BMW was doing donuts? He wasn't wearing his seat belt, somehow the door came open, and he got tossed out of the car onto the asphalt. The car, still in mid-donut, came around and smacked him on the head with the rear bumper.
With the momentum of a thousand pound vehicle, even at slow speeds a human body can be flung like a rag doll.

Long story short, I had three seat belt tickets at 90 bucks a pop. After the third i learned my lesson, a couple of months later i got rear ended at a dead stop and the guy that hit me was in a ford f150 going 55Mph. Seat belts do work but ya have to wear them...

Not rationalizing at all. The guy you posted about was "FUCKING" around and had a mechanical failure. I was doing the speed limit and driving normal. I do agree that I should have been wearing my seatbelt but ask me how I know the un-norm (even a word/spell? ) My brother was in a 3 wheeler accident 16 years ago that if he had been wearing a helmet.....he was dead. I know 99.9% of the time they will save your life, but they also can take a life. I fucked up, but no harm, no foul this time

Yeah, I'm not arguing with what you're saying, just mentioning their effect/importance. And I have heard a first-hand account of not wearing a seatbelt ending up saving a life. My ex's uncle drove a thirdgen Camaro years ago, and got into an accident in it. I don't remember exactly what caused/happened, but had he not been thrown from the vehicle (eg, wearing his seatbelt), the resulting fate of the car would have killed him.

you should always wear a seatbelt! If you get in a wreck all the unbuckled people are like loose cannons!
Glad everything went well though!
Also i think you said it was in a school zone... Tickets double in those too!
I won't drive my car if not everyone is buckled. Same with my dad. We are very stubborn about it lol

Thanks.
Oh and the seatbelt thing got me sidetracked; props for not bashing the cop
I'm the same way. When I'm riding with my roommate in his car I always call shotgun, and if I miss it, I take the 2nd row bench passenger-side seat, because that along with the driver & passenger seats are the only seats that have working belts. Anyone who asks me to move is met with a stern "suck my dick"
He drives an 04 Denali, so it's easier to roll anyway.

hah I'm that way except all the belts still work. If I sit in the back seat I HAVE to sit on the drivers side. No exceptions. Or the middle. Just not on the right. Im like OCD about it. This possibly could be because when I was a kid I was assigned drivers side and my sister had passenger side so we would never fight. Lol
