» tha_rockdog - What do you think?

I too believe the seatbelt mandatory law is against our rights.
Who are they to say what we can OR cannot do to our own bodies.
I had also gotten a ticket a few years back and I too was hustled as to my date because I wanted to fight it. I ended up paying approx $200-$250 in fines, missed work, etc.
I feel as long as we are old enough to think for ourselves,
(which could be constrewed as driving or voting, or even
fighting for our country) we should be able to choose to wear
them, (seatbelts), or not.
In the area of child restraints, I believe THAt should be
mandatory due to the fact our children depend on us to keep them
safe. I'm not real sure where the age of that law should stop
though, maybe 15-16? OR maybe as soon as they get their own
drivers license.
I firmly impress on my daughter to wear hers and that is because I care, BUT if she didn't want to, the only thing it should do is upset me, NOT put her in jail.
Those are my opinions on this restrictive and rights altering law.
Thanks for this site.
