Wear your seatbelt

No, I dont have an exciting video to show you, but I do have a little rant.

About a month ago, I was given a ticket for no seatbelt. That's fine, against the law, I will not complain. Well, I opted to take the online traffic school as oppose to going to class (who wouldnt?).

Well I took the online course lastnight and gosh was it completely unnecessary for me to sit through 4 hours of listening to this flash version of a course. I mean, I didnt kill anyone, I didnt create a 40 car pileup, I wasnt even ticketed for speeding. It was a no seatbelt ticket and here I am learning about defensive driving, how I shouldnt drink and drive, how I shouldnt wave pedestrians across the street, etc.

Well, I passed, it's over, and I thought I would just give you a word of advice....wear your seatbelt. Dont go through what I did. lol

k thx bye

Is a seatbelt a moving violation for you? It's not in FL. No need to waste your traffic school on a seatbelt fine.

I had to pay a fine ($50) and I believe an extra $40 to take the internet class. This was all because I do not want it to be on my record or convicted. Oh well.

Yes, it is. He took my license and everything, but I know someone on the same side as authority and was able to retrieve it that same day.

I would have just paid the fine. I didn't think it's a moving violation either.

I've always buckled up out of habit, but I think of this dude these days:

And somewhat related -- don't stick your leg out your window either.

The first vid always cracks me up.... messed up or not, the comments are usually funny too...

I've always worn my seat belt. Well, not always. Not until when I was a little kid and was in a crash at ~ 10mph where my face flew into the dashboard. Not fun at all, I now have several crooked teeth to show for it.
