my lady friend doesn't let me back the car out without a seatbelt on. she can say with reasonable certainty that it saved her life a few years back when someone ran her off the highway and her car rolled. you are an idiot if you do not wear a seatbelt indeed.

Don't be a moron. You brought up ******** anecdotal nonsense when you said "there are also stories where lives have been saved in an accident by not wearing seatbelts". You go prove your point. I think anyone in their right mind knows seat belts save lives.
There are stories of saskwatch too. Go find him while you're at it. Maybe he's wearing his seat belt.

And to be on topic, I did not get a ticket for lack of seatbelt, cause, I wear mine.
Anyone read the paper? There was a cobalt that was in an accident and the driver was thrown 55 ft.... I guess that was his god given right? ....

Yup. And it is our 'right' to pay the excess in medical costs via increased insurance costs and such.

Just a quick search, it came up with no .orgs or .edu so this may be off...
"On average, inpatient hospital care costs for an unbelted crash victim are 50 percent higher than those for a belted crash victim. Society bears 85 percent of those costs, not the individuals involved. Every American pays about $580 a year toward the cost of crashes. If everyone buckled up, this figure would drop significantly.
By reaching the goal of 90 percent seat belt use, and 25 percent reduction in child fatalities, we will save $8.8 billion annually."

Let's put it this way. Nobody would care that you don't wear your seatbelt if the EMTs were allowed to let your dumb ass bleed and die for being a retard. But they aren't. So because you choose to not wear safety equipment everybody in your area has to pay to clean up the mess you create.

You were lucky you didnt get a DUI, Vicoden is a narcotic and under the influence of a narcotic can grant you a DUI, im suprised the hospital let you drive, i work at one and once someone takes a narcotic we make sure they have a ride home.

Welcome to the 1 in 10000000. Although you assume he would have survived if he had been ejected - if he would have even been ejected. Not every person whop does not wear a belt is ejected.
My condolences to your friend's family & friends.

i got one on monday morning by a state trooper
he goes something about "giving seat belt tickets isnt the highlight of my career" blah blah. he asked me twice why i wasnt wearing my seatbelt. i just said i always wear it and forgot to put it on.
i was ****ing pissed when he came back with the ticket, i didnt say a word to him.
