Today while driving my brothers to their soccer game, my brother in the passenger seat didn't have his seat belt on. So low and behold we passed a cop. The cop turn his lights on and pulled me over and gave me a ticket for it.
Yes i am making my brother pay for it, luckily passenger in the back seat doesn't have to have seat belts on by law, or i would have gotten two tickets one for each brother.
So flood, discuss when/if you have ever gotten tickets before.
-
I know someone who got a ticket. [i]To ride.[/i]
-
Four years on the road so far and I haven't been pulled over. I hope I can keep it up.
-
Why wasn't he wearing a seat belt?
-
Now the cops know you exist. You're on the grid, man.
-
No tickets but my car is a cop magnet. It's a modified Subaru. I have fun with it but only in empty parking lots late at night. I also check to see where the closes house are so I don't make to much noise.

Did anyone ever do the cool kid move when they were little any buckle in and then put the strap behind you? I did that sometimes.

Edited by CND AAA Beef: 2/15/2014 6:28:07 PMYou are lucky. In Ontario, everyone has to be buckled up. The driver gets a ticket for everyone who's unbuckled and doesn't have their own licence. If you're a passenger, have your own licence, and your unbuckled, you get the ticket, not the driver. You'd have gotten two tickets up here.

I got a ticket for being out passed curfew. New Jersey sucks only because of kyleigh's law. And I don't even have to follow it anymore... It was like 11:45, maybe, and I was less than 15 minutes from home.
-
I don't understand why people don't put on their seatbelts.
-
I disagree with seat belt laws.
-
I'm gonna get a ticket later today. [spoiler]I'm flying to [redacted] to go skiing.[/spoiler]

Edited by Mystic Sun: 2/15/2014 3:20:25 PMI don't see the necessity behind this. In both my accidents my seatbelt came off the seat and my face was either on the steering wheel or the dash. I had actually flew out of my seat, lower body got caught by steering wheel, and faceplanted on the dashboard.
-
I know that feeling. Which is why I now INSIST that if you're my passenger, you wear your seat belt. Strangely, I have conformed to the social engineering inherent in making those stupid laws, but not because I want to preserve life. I do it just because I face consequences if we are caught with my passenger not wearing a seat belt. Strange, that its not my concern for my passengers lives, buy a financial risk which dictates my behavior.
-
Does it only apply to minors? I know that in PA you don't need to wear seatbelts if everyone is over 18.
-
No matter who it is, I [i] always [/i] make sure everyone in my car has their seat belt on.
-
I lost dozens and dozens of tickets today, I was really screwed. [spoiler]I was playing BF4, duh. [/spoiler]
-
You should refuse to pay.
-
Why on earth wouldn't you wear a seatbelt ._. Unless you like the taste of windshield and steering wheel in your oesophagus...
-
The rhinoceros has gotten a jaw-walking ticket when he was in high school. Was about $100.
-
Why the hell weren't they wearing their seatbelts?
-
Haven't been pulled over yet.
-
I think I may have accidentally sped past a speeding camera a few days ago, so I might be getting one soon. ;_;
-
I have gotten 4 tickets today. Ridiculous.
-
Why didn't you make your brother put the seatbelt on?
-
I've gotten pulled over at least 7 or 8 times for different reasons am have yet to get a ticket.
