Seatbelt "Law"

[AutoSport]

^^^^^ Son, is only you could get into that kinda problem. But another classic example of our Police, who assume infinite knowledge, and even more power, because of the uniform they wear.

[illumin@ti]

Jus curious, what's the purpose of this question?

interesting exchange between myself and a occifer this morn over the legality of using a seat belt to protect some objects from moving around my car while i transported them. Told me that i cant use th seat belt for it and to remove it else i would be ticketed.

(shrugs)

^^^^ where praytell yuh meet dat retarded ossifart?? that has to be the dumbest thing i have heard in a while

[urabus]

here i am being lambassed for not liking to wear seat belts

ever knew anyone involved in a vehicular accident, and just where the seat belt run across ur chest the person received internal injuries?

and why shud i be wearing seat belts when i'm driving in traffic at 1-5 km/hr, on the contrary if im on the highway and moving at a reasonble speed then i'll wear them

[Captainzaak]

there's this stupid sensor in my car that doesn't stop unless i put on my seat belt....grrrrrrrr

but yeah i'd like to know as well, becuz most times when i spot police i grab the seat belts to pull over quickly

This is so wrong eh but i know someone who had that problem, he bought a seatbelt buckle an buckled it in the latch so that it won't make that sound when he driving, before that he use to buckle the seatbelt an lie back on it....

He got in an accident an ended up in a concussion because of this btw.

now that yuh mention that, i remember transporting a 21"CRT in the front seat of the cherokee, restrained in the same maneer, and getting a similar warning.
i told him the value of the CRT (in the event of a sudden stop), exceeds the value of the ticket, so here's my DP and insurance.

he told me to move along. *shrugs*

guess it was time for him to *intimidate* someone.

'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

While you are driving at 1-5KMH, what speeds are other drivers (possibly in opposite directions) at?

You are foolishly trying to justify arrogance.

I have been involved in a head-on collision while wearing a seatbelt, and suffered from a fractured rib, and major brusing across my abdomen in a lovely "seatbelt pattern". Had I not been wearing a seatbelt, I probably wouldn't be here now trying to push round sense into a square head.

The unfortunate cross-thought that inevitably occurs while typing a response like this is that "Darwinism prevails for the greater good"

this definatly does not help your case and no i have never heard of anyone sustaining more injuries from a seat belt than they would have in an accident when they were worn properly, driver seated properly and seatbelt working properly

in any case you said at "reasonable speeds" you wear them... why? afraid of internal injuries on impact?

and finally in many countries for many years ppl have magically crossed medians and into oncoming and stand still traffic...

a look @ any highway in trinidad @ rush hours would show how this senario becomes increasingly probable

ok i go wear the seat belt then

so if u remove it and whilst driving the objects move around in the car causing a distraction to you and you crash into an innocent bystander......your consolation would be that you were obeying the law........
clearly that occifer was not thinking at all.....

yup for all the ppl who drive with their seat "rock back" to the point where only their finger tips firmly grasp the bottom of the wheel will sustain neck injuries on impact when seatbelts are worn.

a greater impact would maybe cause a broken neck or asphyxiation

there's this stupid sensor in my car that doesn't stop unless i put on my seat belt....grrrrrrrr

I love seeing people like you at the side of the road looking all bloody and dazed. Yes, I am the cnut who points at your smashed windscreen and busshead laughs 'kyak kyak kyak dem seatbelt uncomfortable eh...'

leh me ketch ya doin dat nuh....ah go mark ya car and buy ah old car just to bounce ya an ride out

Seatbelts dont always save lives tho ......ur chances of being killed/injured in an accident are just lower

[MG Man]

^^^breds, there are some crashes where a crash helmet, roll cage and multipoint harness won't save your life........I encourage people like (who lie and tell you you)cute corolla NOT to wear their seatbelts. We could be better off with people with that level of intelligence

natural selection is the real flick!!

[r3iXmann]

indeed. after my defensive driving course...seatbelt rule enforced at all times in my car and practiced/encouraged in others

3 second spacing, signalised intersection practices, etc., etc.

IMHO, the DD training was well worth the minimal cost.

X2 I doh feel comfortable at all if i'm driving and not wearing the seatbelt.

Ah have ah question for cute corolla, does yur car have airbags?

In an accident if yur not wearing yur seatbelt the srs airbag can actually do more harm than good.
