Lick It Or Ticket?
We’ve never been fans of primary seat belt enforcement, people. It’s just an excuse for the cops to pull you over, and at this point it’s pretty much pointless.
Don’t most cars come with an annoying “no seat belt beep,” anyway? One conveniently installed “in the factory?”
Anyway, we’ve got to hand it to these particular law enforcement professionals for making the best out of a bad situation.
We don’t know about the rest of y’all, but with the economy the way it is, we’re gonna have to go with “lick it.”

I haven’t heard of it here yet, but some states allow police to stop you to thank you for wearing your seatbelt. Now that’s a crock isn’t it?
((Thanks for following the law????)

Too bad for Charles Barkley that sign wasn’t there when he got busted.

I always wear my seatbelt and require my family to do the same. But I agree with FITs that this is an inappropriate intrusion into one’s freedoms. Particularly, the freedom to be an idiot, which is an inalienable right bestowed by our creator. Of course, those who have yet to reach the age of majority have no such freedom.
I’ve come a long way on this issue since my first car, which was a ‘68 Firebird convertible with the lap belts cut out.

Come on Wil, that came from a fill in the blank signmaker website.

Crooner, my dad would never let me get the baby blue ‘66 Mustang that I wanted. Even though he had the money and I was driving very, very good. I will always remember that.

Don’t wear your seat belt and die—that’s your problem. Don’t wear your seat belt and get a head injury—now it’s my problem (unless you’re stinkin rich). Necessary law for those of us smart enough to buckle up but sharing the road with those who aren’t.
