cops can suck my ****
I got pulled by a NC State Trooper this afternoon for not having my seatbelt on. This is a $25 ticket, but to make matters worse, he gave me an additional $90 ticket for having a tinted cover over my plate. I told him exactly what I thought of him too. Where was this guy when I hit 140 on the freeway yesterday?
Stupid mother****er.
Just ventin' some steam...

I don't mean to be nag or anything, but DDubb is right -- I was fortunate enough to be wearing my seatbelt in a bad accident. I would have DEFINITELY died had I not been wearing it. That cop would rather give you a ticket than have to peel you off the road. Anyway, be careful.

Yeah, let me add my 2 cents (like others would say)...
It saved me my life in high school back in 1991. We would all race home after school (total of 11 cars) on the Garden State Parkway. At the time I was driving a Porsche 944 going 130mph...Unfortunately, I lost control because a van cut me off. I turned my wheel to ride the shoulder..I ended up going into the trees. I tried to open the door, but couldn't. I was able to get out by kicking out the windshield. 10 minutes later, my car blew up. Anybody remember that day in April of 1991 on exit 136? Anyone see me? They shut down the parkway for about an half and hour trying to put out the fire. Luckily, my girlfriend at the time wasn't in the passenger seat cuz I probably would have lost her. To add to it...The state trooper gave me a reckless driving ticket on the way to the hospital. He said he could tell I was going at a high rate of speed by just looking at the skid marks. Since then, I've been wearing my seatbelt everyday! So...Buckle Up!

seatbelts are there to save lives...it saved mine many times...i think the fine should be larger for knuckleheads who think they don't need to wear seatbelts...especially if they hit 140 on the freeway...

Thanks fellas, everyone in the world says I should wear my seatbelt. I know it, and I hate to tempt fate, but it is just to uncomfortable. I've had my share of accidents without any harm, and since wearing seatbelts is only something I'll only do for my ex-girlfriend, I'm gonna keep my streak alive!
i just needed to vent, that's all, and now I'm not red-hot mad anymore, and I've stopped gritting my teeth. Thanks fellas, you guys are the best.

Let me tell you a little story of an Associate I once new...He and his wife out for a spin in his car, lost control and slid into a telephone pole after hitting a puddle of water. The car was badly damaged and the wife was hurt but released that night from the hospital even though it was her side of the car that struck the pole. He, not wearing his seat belt slammed his head into the window then across into the steering wheel killing him instantly. He had a very successful ID Firm, married to a beautiful wife and two adoring daughters who no longer have a father or husband. He died because of not wearing a seat belt. At the funeral his father spoke and said think of the unimaginable pain we and his family are going through for years to come that all could have been avoided by a seat belt. I have worked a lot of accidents in my law enforcement careear but I have yet to see a dead victim pulled out of car wearing a seat belt.
P.S. Perhaps you got pulled over because he could not catch up to the night before. If indeed you were going that fast, no ticket, just a revocation of your DL in Florida and huge a$$ fines and community service. Sounds like you got off pretty cheap to me!

Hey, if one chooses not to use their seat belts despite knowing that it saves lives, can they be nominated for the darwin award? or do they have to actually die?

I know I'm a good driver but it's too much of a risk not to wear it with all the CH's (Chicken Heads) out there.
BTW: I have a tinted plate cover too and haven't had any problems when I've been pulled over quite a few times. I'm very lucky actually, I have tinted windows, tinted rear plate cover and no front plate. Haven't been pulled over in my TL, but all my cars have had the same setup and never a problem. I feel for you though, that is crappy, $90 for that...

O.G.
Remember, wearing your seatbelt does not mean you are a bad driver. It means that you are protecting yourself from idiots who can't drive. I am amazed at how some people actually got their license in the first place. 
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!

Ken... I know how you feel man.. Sucks when you got into shit like that.....
I understand why some people feel uncomfortalbe about wearing the seatbelt... But what I really don't understand is that... When a lot people out there are moding their cars and trying to be a street "racer"... Why not wearing your seatbelt? All race car drivers wear them. As a matter of fact, I REALLY WANT TO HAVE A 4points or even 6 points seatbelf system on my car...... I think that feel WAY MORE SAFER then airbags......

dj alliance.. wher ein union county do you live? I live in union. guys as far as seatbelts go.. I always put it on after I start driving and my parenst nag me because they say I should put it on before I start driving.. It has saved my life 4 times already and saved my dads like atleast 6. It doesnt matter if you are a good driver or not, but often it is the other person that drives like an idiot and smacks into you.. like happened to me on the southern state pkwy last winter, and not once but twice... so guys we like to chit chat with each other on here and want everyone to be around for many years to come.....

That's hardcore! But I know what you mean. I was in a head-on collision in a 91 Civic (no airbag). It was probably a 50mph impact. I got a bad sealbelt burn and a VERY sore back for the next week. I had to take 800mg Ibuprofins. But if it weren't for the seabelts, I wouldn't be sitting here enjoying my TL.
BTW, SL1200MK4, are you gonna put in a roll cage with that 6 point harness too?

Depends on my budget and some other stuff. Maybe I will get a Vette Z06, or the new M3. If so... maybe I won't mess with the car too much. That would relaly hurt the resale value. However if I got myself a used car like Eagle Talon, Subaru, MR2 or any FUN rwd cars . I will install roll cage & all those goodies for sure. I doubt I will have any money left for those goodies if I got the Vette or Bimmer
I don't relly need those stuff in my TL after all, I drive safely most of the time. (that's like 98% of the miles that I put on)
But seriously, a 4 point design is much better, because both your shoulder will take the force instead of one, and some other reasons of course...

Sorry if I sound like you mom or anything.. I am sorry if I did, but I was really just caring about you. Cuz in the long run, those things can cause some SERIOUS back pain or even make you diabled. I was racing Mountain Bike & had a Baseball team before. So I have seen/heard lots similar stories with some sorry ending......
But I am sure you will be fine..... Take care...
