Well you could fly out of the car in an accident and cause damage. :icon17:

Which happened to my grandmother. Too bad I never got to meet her.

Seatbelt laws were started by insurance companies to reduce payouts in accidents. But on the side of caution

Do you want to become a 180 pound loose lethal object flying around the inclosed space possibly killing anyone else in the passenger compartment of the vehicle even if they are wearing seat-belts.

...unless you have no insurance and are ejected/injured. Someone gets to pay for the police, fire and EMS to scrape you off the road, then any medical costs associated with putting you back together. So yes, you are potentially hurting someone else by not wearing it.

Your ticket is in place to save lives. I got a no front plate ticket that cost me $105

KUSH 11-02-2011 04:20 PM

Nope. It was off because the car just came out of the garage for winter and I took it for a quick drive. I cover the car in the garage and the Stillen front Plate bracket would get in the way. I explained it to the cop but he did not care. $25 for the ticket $80 for court surcharge.

Cry me a river, those laws are for your safety!

I recommend not running something in the tow hook mount.

This is the one traffic law that just drives me up the wall here in Texas. I have only been asked about it once, and I told the trooper my front mounting bracket had broken to get out of it. He bought, so no harm done.:D
