You don't have to 'click it' to avoid a ticket.

Just drape it over your left shoulder.

Lately the idiot cops are using any excuse (like 2 MPH over the speed limit) to stop you because they can't stop you for not wearing a seatbelt.

Stop the seatbelt Nazis !


BUMP

My state now allows the cops to stop you, just for a seat belt infraction...something the legislature promised would never happen.
Recently a cop lectured me on the proper use of a seatbelt....I don't like mine over the shoulder, and prefer it under my arm across the chest. Apparently that is incorrect useage....he didn't give me a ticket, just a verbal lashing, and I was pretty pissed off.
I went home and perused the legislative laws and found nothing regarding "how" the seatbelt must be worn, just a mandate that it must be worn, and have printed out a copy to carry in the car. My husband on the other hand, does not want me to argue with the police, so I'm wondering: should I bother calling the precinct the cop works for and ask them what the actual law states?
