Here in Texas, they'll nail ya for not wearing a seatbelt, yet a person can hop on a motorcycle with no helmet, no seatbelt, no airbags...no nothing. Perfectly legal.
It is illegal to drink and drive. Not drunk driving, drinking a beer on the way home from a hard dayz work, but you can stop at a pub on the way home and have a beer or maybe even two and legally drive home.
Bars can sell alcohol till 2am on Friday/Saturday nights, but drink it, get pulled over...go to the poky. Could it be tax dollars keeping the sale of alcohol till 2am...legal?
I want the gubbamint out of our lives.
Yeah. On the one hand, they are arguing you don't have a right to take risks, and on the other they are allowing that you do.
A couple of weeks ago in Round Rock, a cop, in a cop car, just missed a head on with me in a shopping center parking lot because he was looking down and texting while driving. I had to run up on a curb to avoid him running into me. I guess I should feel lucky he didn’t try to arrest me for reckless driving.
