Seat belt law is bull

[BarneyFife]

Yes, I have fucking problem with seat belt and the forum has become nothing more than a breeding ground for sheeps.

LOL. You must use lead paint in your house. You're an idiot.

you talking about the person on the back of a motorcycle flying into the person on the front of the motorcycle. good question.

 

[sandorski]

The 70's called, they're glad to see you resurrected their issues.

hehe, this.

I'm just laughing at the title

"Sit Belt law is bull"

This guy must have clicked out of the video game forum on accident

What happens if I'm walking along the sidewalk and get hit by a car doing 60mph?

Obviously the solution is to make it illegal for me to walk along the sidewalk without a humongously-giant rubber suit protecting me from collisions.

Yes, a bulk of this forum are nanny-state lovers. One gets used to ignoring their crap over time.

Obviously I was arguing for those protections. In fact not only do I think that we should all wear large rubber suits but I think that black people should get them for free by taxing white southerners.

One example, for grins, long distance car ride, I have no problem with someone using the backseat to lay down and sleep, instead of sitting up with the belt on.

Car accidents are not that common, despite what some might argue. I've been on my share of cross-country car trips, some up to 8 cars in a trip, never once anyone has had an accident. Knock on wood, yes. But, point is car accidents are not common enough that I believe we need this legislated.

Wow you are dumber then I ever thought possible. Please carry on.

Government gives you permission to drive a vehicle. therefore is using that permission;you must agree with their rules.
IF you choose to not follow the rulse; accept the consequences.

Do not like the rule; get it replealed. Until then follow the law or accept the punishment.

 

[BarneyFife]

I think people should be allowed to go jogging on shoulder of the freeway.

 

[LumbergTech]

More like enslaved into believing government do this for your safety, not a money grab for fine.

they cant fine if you if you wear your fucking seatbelt

A. no one wants to clean up your goddamn corpse off the road
B. you can become a projectile in an accident, injuring or killing passengers in your own car

The goddamn government and their various regulations/standards trying to save 24k lives a year, and reduce the number of of deaths per capita by 100%.

Time to rise up in the streets and protest this unacceptable oppression. WE THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!

 

[maidaa]

Why aren't there seat belts on motorcycles?

This one have, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_C1

 

[Newbian]

I think the annoying red seatbelt light that sits in the middle of my gages/gauges did more to get me to buckle up than the law ever would have.

If you think that's bad wait until you get a car that has a annoying beeping sound every few minutes if you are not buckled up.

 

[rudder]

I can understand WHY it is require in the front sit but at the back too? It is fucking bullshit. Whatever happen to free choice? This is nothing fucking more than a stupid money grab; I never understand WHY it is against the law to not buckle up; why is it up to the state that decide they will fine you if you don't?

People SHOULD have a choice of wearing seat belt or not? If they happen to die.... too bad.... people die all the time; it shouldn't be against the law it don't harm anyone else. This sick bastard SHOULD be the one being haul off to jail, not Blago.

What if you don't die and require $300,000 of medical care? Don't want to wear a seatbelt? Then you better carry a medical insurance rider or have a minimum $200,000 in your bank account. I don't want to have to pay for your stupidity.

 

[CycloWizard]

Of course you are.
Get a job and buy the land. Then lay the road.

Jeez, why do I have to do everyone's thinking for them?

Really? Government will sell me the land its roads are on so I can run them however I please?

Bribe a politician or purchase the land from a private party.

The key is that while people bitch; one that has been in an accident or seen one up close appreciates what the seatbelt does for their safety.

Those that fight against one do not care what an accident might do to them or a loved one. The seatbelt aslo provides you with stability during an evasive maneuver; retaining a better chance of control.

 

[Ackmed]

I don't have to wear one, and they can't make me.

Get a car that was built without seat belts, and they can't force you to. I argued with a police officer years ago over it. She tried to give me a ticket, when I obviously can't wear one if it's not there.

A policy cannot be justification for itself.

I assume you're being sarcastic by suggesting that I break the law by bribing an official to gain access to land, only to build my own road to be able to set my own laws.

I would wear a seat belt whether or not it was legally required. Imagine that - in the land of the free, I can choose to make an informed decision for my own benefit rather than having the government mandate my every move! If you want to save people using government, and government is the sole entity able to issue drivers' licenses, make people actually learn how to drive before licensing them. That will save a lot of people as well.

 

[CLite]

The origin of these laws are most likely two-fold:
1) Emergency care must be provided in our country because we are not a 3rd world shithole. Therefore, seatbelts represent a significant risk reduction which saves both money and reduces human tragedy.
2) States probably needed laws to address parents who don't make their non-adult children that have outgrown car-seats wear seatbelts.

Democrats aren't sitting around scheming to control people's lives, just like I don't think republicans sit around scheming about crushing poor people. Each group have reasons for their ideas and believe their system will benefit society.

In the case of seatbelt laws they unequivocally benefit society and they have undoubtedly been passed with bipartisan support. The strawman laced drivel about nanny-state is really pathetic to read.

Dumbest thread of the month?

Oh, and here I was thinking that 40,000+ people die every year in car accidents in the US and 2.9 million are injured, not to mention the rest of the accidents where people escape unscathed. But because cubby1223 has never been in a car accident, I guess they really must not be that common. Who knew!?
