“I know many will disagree with me but it started with nonsense like telling me I HAVE TO wear my seat belt or I’ll get a 120 dollar fine.
If I want to fly through a window in an accident, that’s my ####ing business.
Is it STUPID to not wear a seat belt? Yeah I guess.
Should it be a law?!?!! Hell no.”
I used to wear seat belts years before they were required...like you say it was a choice...but for me, I’m convinced showing that shoulder belt to a cop kept me out of a lot of tickets (I think 8 in a row). Now that everyone else wears seatbelts and it is the law, I haven’t been nearly as successful getting out of tickets.
I also remember in California when they debated motorcycle helmet laws. The argument was that the lack of helmets were driving up the cost of auto insurance, due to the more severe injuries. So they finally passed the law...do I really have to tell you guys which direction auto insurance went after the helmet law took effect (and no, it wasn’t down)?
Boy now I feel like a hypocrite.
I do think motorcycle riders should wear helmets.
I guess I can’t have it both ways and wearing a helmet should be a personal choice too.
