BULLSQUIRT! This “Click It Or Ticket” as a primary offense garbage has got to stop.

This is natural selection, folks. If that woman wants to kill her child to save a gas can, that’s on her. Why we’re allowing law enforcement to pull over people for not wearing a seatbelt while states like mine (Florida) allow motorcyclists to ride without helmets is absolutely asinine!

Absolutely agree. Same here in Ohio. No bodily protection whatsoever for bicyclist of any kind, but people in cars, where they're much safer, have head restraints, belts, air bags, and other "Ralph Nader" imposed crap all over the car.

What it amounts to is a TAX imposed on car drivers, since there're more of us.

I wear seatbelts, and have been using them since 1968. Anyone in my car has to have theirs on before I'll accelerate. But, to have the state or feds consider me a criminal if I don't wear one is disgusting.

Since motorcycle riders have absolutely NO PROTECTION FROM ANYTHING while they're riding, the government should not impose any restrictions on people in cars, for any reason at all. Keep the hell out of my car.

And to have the feds get involved in any of this since there's nothing in the Constitution about seatbelts, shoulder restraints, head restraints, or airbags makes me sick to my stomach.
