Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Got a ticket for not having my seat belt on. The guy was not too friendly so I guess he must have been missing the family bar-b-Q. I was just wondering for those that live in California, does a seat belt offense count as a point and goes to your insurance company? I really don't want to go to traffic school to get the points erase off my record.

In Texas they've been cracking down on it quite hard. No matter what, I always wear my seatbetl. It's a bitch in that I'm always worried about getting out of my car looking like a slob...but I wear it no matter what.

I dont feel comfortable driving without a seatbelt.. I like feeling strapped in.
But I don't agree with the seatbelt laws. I think it is a right or freedom to choose whether to wear a seatbelt or not..
I had a college history professor who was a navy seal in vietnam.. He's got shrapnell stuck in his gut and will never have solid stool again in his life due to his time in Vietnam. He will never wear his seatbelt. He feels it is his freedom to wear or not wear a seatbelt. On numerous occasions he told us that cops will let him off when he explains himself.
We had an entire lecture hour devoted to this.. not quite related to history but definitely interesting.

Seat belt laws, helmet laws should all go away. As far as I am concerned it is natural selection. If you are silly enough not to wear one, and trust the rest of the driving population that much, maybe it would not be such a bad thing for you to go flying through the windshield.

We tax payers have to pick up the mess that your "Types" leave behind! If you don't want to wear a Helmet or Seatbelt in your own home that is fine by me!

Settle down ther fella, I wear my seatbelt. I was just saying that those who do not wear them are silly, but government is not here to hold our hand and make sure we do not hurt ourselves. If we follow your logic to its extreme then any behavior that I might follow which could lead to serious injury should be banned because I may not have health insurance and I may hurt myself costing tax payers money. So, no mowing grass without saftey googles because I might put my eye out, and no biking without a helmet, no riding motorcycles with shorts on, no diving in my backyard pool because I might break my neck, no skydiving, no skateboarding or surfing becuase I *might* break my neck. The last thing I need is government holding my hand, passing laws to make sure we all live safe happy lives. I can do that on my own

Your above examples are of 2 types of activities..
Private Property Activities / Injuries
Public Property Activities / Injuries
The insurance industry regulated and causes change of habit in private property such as saying if you want to have a diving board on you pool, good luck getting insurance.
Wanna skydive regularly, good luck getting life insurance.
No laws usually are created controlling this space, society and Insurance companies just make it difficult for their benefit.
But in the public spaces such as roads, parks etc, the goverment
can place restrictions as to what you can do for the good of the many. You can choose to follow these laws or not and if not you can pay the penalty of a fine or what ever you elected representatives have setup.
I am not an advocate of big goverment, but it has it's place in Society. You are driving biking on a Public owned and maintained road. Not your private driveway.
An example of how it should be is the recent repeal of the Mandatory Helmet law on motorcycles here in Florida.
In order to ride this way you must be over 18 and have more than a certain amount of Insurance coverage.

I guess you don't have insurance! I will not ammune Sheeple from there ills, just like politicians!
Again if you want to put up a couple of Million of dollars for your medical bills etc, then i would not have any problem with you going around without a seatbelt or a helmet! Freedom has a price! If you can pay up then you can be Free as a bird!
