It shouldn't.

But that is such a stupid thing to get a ticket for. How far away from your starting point where you when the cop flagged you down?

It is his choice whether he wants to wear his seatbelt or not. If he choses not to he understands the possible consequences I'm sure.

he was at a stop light and i just zoomed by him. i dont think that fact that i was on my cell phone with one hand on the wheel helped either.




good to know it wont affect my insurance. believe me i won't be on the road without a belt again. and are the tickets really only $25? i thought they were in the range of $250+.

Here in the great land of Missouri, the Department of Transportation has placed those orange construction zone electronic message signs all over with the great message of: Click it or Ticket.

I want to slap the person who came up with the stupid phrase. I would also like to know who decided to buy so many unnecessary electronic message boards. Those things have to be expensive.

No it's not. It's going to be a NATIONAL LAW. Not a state one anymore. Either wear your seatbelt in every state, all the time while driving, or prepare to be fined for it if pulled over.


EDIT:

After checking State Farm's page, if I or the law enforcement agency report a seatbelt violation to my insurance company, it may actually impact my rates, since it is a reflection of how I drive and they'd consider me a higher risk for injury.

that saying is a nationwide saying. they are advertising that they are "cracking down" on those not buckled in.

Studies have shown that they are substantially less expensive than hosing intestines off of the pavement.

If you won't deny Mark his right put himself at risk, you can't deny MIKE his right to call Mark a retard for doing it. At least be consistent.

Mark, I've always heard that a seatbelt ticket will not affect your insurance rates.

You should wear it. If not for accidents, then to keep you in your seat and in control during violent menovers. It sure would suck if you went into a skid or off the read at speed and could easily recover if you didnt find yourself in the passanger seat trying to grab the wheel.

I think the firemen, paramedics, and police officers got sick of scraping splattered brains and flesh off of the pavement because some moron didn't want to wear his seat belt. I use to think the same way as you, but if the gov't is going to be running the accident clean up crews than they do have the right to protect their employees from having to witness and deal with such horrible, preventable scenes.

My mind may change once I get a $101 Washington State no-seatbelt-ticket. But then again, I always wear one.
