Until such time as you can see the law changed you just have to follow it, or pay the consequences for not doing so. Personal responsibility can be a b!t@% sometimes.

Paying the fine is all one can do if they chose not to wear the seat belt.

It was much easier to remove the ground harness so you didn't have to buckle the belt and sit on that uncomfortable thing!

On the shoulder harness deal, that is not part of our law here. I do not wear mine and have been pulled over before because of it. Then the police notice I am indeed wearing my belt and I have never got a fine out of the deal. I have been lectured but I fire back that there is no provision in the law for wearing the shoulder harness.

The titanium in my spine and the fact I have broken my left collarbone three times causes me to avoid that shoulder harness also. When I ride ( as is the case most of the time) I do wear the shoulder harness.

I absolutely agree with that statemet. Like I said, it is a game. Sometimes you land on Boardwalk and there is a hotel on it. Hopefully it is late in the game and you have the funds. ;)

Regarding the lap belt and buzzer. In my old car I just disconnected the buzzer.

In a discussion about whether the law makes sense, or is right, the nanny-stater has now turned jackboot.
