I was stopped and cited by the CHP this morning for:
"Driver not wearing seatbelt properly"
I had the seatbelt under my arm for a few mins during a traffic jam to relieve the pressure on my shoulder.
Later, I spoke with a guy who said his brother was a CHP. Apparently, they're trying to fill seat belt violation quotas so they can get more govt. money for their department.
WTF!
UPDATE: So I called the CHP station and asked how much the ticket would be. The guy told me that I'd have to wait a couple of weeks for the ticket to leave their station to the court house. Then I can call the clerk and ask about the ticket. If its under $100, I'm probably not going to fight it since I'd be losing more than that if I took time off work to appear in court.
