Nearly every state now has a seatbelt law for the purpose of revenue generation. But the next step is going to be smoking bans, which are the new seatbelt...
More seatbelt lunacy, coupled this time with the typical European approach of introducing needless complexity into a system: ...

Now here is a new one... this lady was given a ticket for not wearing her seatbelt properly. Who gets to determine whether or not you are wearing your belt...
Wow. This document really is something. "Seat Belt Reminder (SBR) systems are intended to encourage the first of these groups to use their seat belt, whilst at...
This article is a few years old now, but well worth the read for an example of how government-mandated "safety" devices can be dangerous. The message is clear:...

As Rush would say, the anti-smoking Nazis are at it again. But as much as I hate to give these birds any credit, they are trying to do "their deeds" within the...
It's not new, KK. I have a number of these cases in my files, including one from Xenia in your state. I sent this story out to my base last week. I also tried...
Where will the shoulder harness be located? That would seem to be a problem. I can't see how they can install one without interfering with any passengers on...
Excellent post, Sandy Lee (I'm trying to figure out what to call you). I wish I could have been there or even had a video of it. When did this class take...

I'm sure the enforcers of the seat-belt laws will also welcome any new models having the extra shoulder belt for the center rear. It makes their despicable...
